A few of the picnic salad recipes listed above come with suggestions to turn them from a simple side salad to a more substantial main course salad. There are also many simple ways to turn any green salad into a full-meal deal:

  • Go Nuts! Cashews, pine nuts, pecans and almonds ... Nuts are a great source of protein, vitamins and minerals. They may even help lower your risk of heart disease and lower blood cholesterol.

  • Top your greens with your pre-cooked leftovers. Thin-sliced medium-rare steak, chicken strips, sliced pork and pieces of salmon are all great choices. And for picnic convenience, because they have all been pre-cooked, they may be served cold on your salad.
Healthy Tip:

Add some interest to your salads - try any of these salad topping ideas and you'll be adding colour, texture, vitamins and minerals:

  • Toasted nuts and seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, sesame seeds)
  • Dried cranberries, raisins, soybeans or wasabi peas
  • Fresh fruit (oranges, grapes, strawberries, apples, pears)
  • Extra veggies (grated carrots, red/yellow/green peppers, tomatoes,cucumbers)
  • Chow mein noodles, taco shell pieces
