Find more recipes on www.OnceUponaThyme.us ​ Does eating a salad sometimes leave you wanting more? Leafy greens are a great side dish or snack, but adding a source of protein, fat, and carbohydrates turns it into a balanced meal. Protein choices like beans and grilled chicken keep you satisfied and helps with muscle growth and repair. Fats boost your body's ability to absorb nutrients and vitamins, and are usually found in avocado and savory salad dressings. Complex carbohydrates like whole wheat croutons or quinoa can be added to increase fiber and keep you feeling full. Finally, adding a variety of roasted vegetables adds even more nutrients to complete your salad. SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN SALAD WITH CILANTRO LIME DRESSING 68 COMMUNITY MAGAZINE
