The 10-Minute Weight Loss Hack: Why This High-Protein Salad Will Be Your Favorite Alternative to Heavy Holiday Sides
Made of the simplest ingredients, this side dish is just what you need for refreshing light dinners in spring.
We’re now in mid-April, which means summertime is getting closer with every new sunny day. While many have already started spending hours in the gym trying to make their figure look better, others opt for healthy eating habits, and this salad might also be in their menu.
Rich in protein, the side dish is extremely easy to make if you aren’t willing to cook something complicated for dinner after a day at work.
Ingredients: 1 bunch of dill, salt to taste, 4 tablespoons of sour cream, 2 fresh cucumbers, 200 g of cooked chicken breast, 1 can of canned green peas.
Cut the cucumbers into long, thin strips using a Korean-style carrot grater. Finely chop the dill and season lightly with salt.
Shred the chicken breast or cut it into small pieces. Drain the liquid from the can of peas.
In a salad bowl, combine the cucumbers, dill, chicken, and peas, and season with salt to taste. Dress with sour cream (you can replace it with plain yogurt) and serve immediately.
Tip: season the salad with sour cream or yogurt right before serving, not in advance. If you prepare it an hour or two before eating, the cucumbers will release their juice, and the flavor won’t be as fresh and crisp.
