This Zero Point Salad is a vibrant and healthy option that’s full of fresh vegetables and packed with flavor. It’s the perfect go-to salad to enjoy guilt-free, and you can top it with a light dressing or even lean protein if you’re looking to make it a full meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mixed greens (such as spinach, lettuce, or arugula)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup radishes, sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup celery, chopped (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing and prepping all your veggies. Slice the cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and any other veggies you’re using.
  2. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine all the vegetables. If you’re using any fresh herbs, add them in for an extra burst of flavor.
  3. Season: Season your salad with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to brighten the flavors. You can skip the dressing to keep it zero points or use a light dressing (just keep track of the points if you do).
  4. Toss & Serve: Toss the salad until everything is well mixed. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for later.
