Purple Salad

You might call this a slaw… although my husband distinctly said “I can’t even taste the cabbage” and then the words “this tastes amazing” came out of his purple mouth.

3 Easy Budget Savvy Salads to Savor

When it comes to budgeting groceries, let’s be honest: veggies are often the first to get the boot.

Why? It’s simple math: they’re expensive and don’t offer a lot of Calories for what you pay. Unfortunately, this means some of the best foods for optimal health and a long life are getting shafted, and other foods are taking their place.

For instance, it’s really easy to grab a bag of potato chips and know you’re getting a lot of calories for only a few bucks, as a side to a sandwich or soup. Similarly, how simple is it to make endless amounts of spaghetti with bread as a side because everyone knows that a side salad won’t contribute nearly the same amount of calories as cheese bread will.

What a lot of people are beginning to practice is either nixing their salad dressing entirely, or putting it on the side. I’d like to suggest that, in keeping a balanced diet and being mindful of total Calories consumed, we can not only keep the dressing but increase the amount of it.

How?
