7 Best Salad Toppings For Weight Loss

Hard boiled egg.  Eggs often get a bad rap, but they are a great source of protein in moderation.  A single hard-boiled egg diced and sprinkled onto your salad gives you protein, a creamy texture you are looking for and great flavor.  Boil and peel a few at the first of the week and simply dice onto your salads each day.

Avocado.  This amazing green healthy fat is for more than just dipping with chips.  Your body needs healthy natural fats, and this is one of the best choices for muscle development and brain health.  Dice and add to your salad for a great heart healthy fat that your body needs, and the creamy texture you are missing when you skip cheese and creamy salad dressings.  You can even puree avocado with Greek yogurt and some spices to create a healthier salad dressing option.

Feta Cheese.  If you just can’t do without cheese, choose a great non-fat feta.  A little goes a long way with this vibrant flavorful choice.  It pairs perfectly with bright vegetables and a vinaigrette. Sprinkle just a bit on top of your salad to add a punch of flavor and protein.

Nuts.  Walnuts, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds,  and even occassionally cashews can be found on salads on many menus.  A small serving of nuts sprinkled over a salad offers crunch, healthy fats, great protein and tons of flavor.  Nuts pair especially well with fruits and fruity salad dressings.

Berries.  Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries are always amazing additions to any salad.  They provide great texture and flavor.  They also provide moisture that helps you skip salad dressings to keep the calorie count even lower.  Since they are high in antioxidants, they are even healthier or your diet.

Cucumber.  This crunchy addition to your salad is a great choice since it has so few calories, is crunchy, and offers a great filling benefit you need so you aren’t hungry.  Dice, slice, or even pickle and add to any salad for crunch and flavor.

Peas.  Green peas are an amazing healthy vegetable to add to your salad.  They offer a bit of flavor, pop of texture, and of course are another nutrient dense and filling choice that makes your salad more satisfying.
