Dinner salad

One of your go-to dinners should be a sizable, satisfying salad, especially on nights when you don't feel like cooking. The issue with most salads is that they are poorly put together, which causes you to feel hungry again quickly after finishing your meal. Make sure to incorporate enough protein, good fats, and fiber while creating a hearty dinner salad. A base of your preferred greens, such as spinach, mixed greens, arugula, kale, or romaine, is a good place to start. Increase the fiber content of your greens by adding a few more vegetables, such as peppers, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli, or red onions.

Pick a protein source next, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, salmon, or hard-boiled eggs. A fiber-rich carbohydrate item, like beans or roasted sweet potatoes, will increase the feeling of fullness even further. Add roasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds to the top of your dish for a crunch, and then season it with a healthy dressing like olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
