Salad Dressings for Wicked Body Composition

Mixing a variety of raw vegetables is an easy way of providing your body with micronutrients. These are essential for healthy functioning and performance. Unfortunately some dieters find raw vegetables bland and boring. This results in salads being drenched in mayonnaise, cream cheese based dressing or other unhealthy ingredients. To combat this issue I have found the healthiest dressings for your salad.

Apple Cider Vinegar.

Apple Cider Vinegar is low in calories but it also has a low number of nutrients. However amino acids and antioxidants are present. It's true benefits come from its ability to fight bacteria and lower blood sugar.

Lemon Juice.

Lemon Juice helps to balance the body's PH levels, is rich in vitamin C and has been proven to aid in digestion. Lemon juice is also high in citric acid, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.

Boiled Chopped Tomatoes.

If you're up for something different, why not try a hot topping. Tomatoes have a high antioxidant content, over 20 micronutrients and are associated with improved heart health. To further improve this saucy topping you should add basil or oregano.

Olive Oil.

Obviously you should use this sparingly. In small a quantity you can reap the benefits of this natural fat. It's health benefits are heavily associated with preventing heart disease, preventing stroke, avoiding depression, lowering breast cancer risk and maintaining a healthy cholesterol level.

Cottage Cheese.

Some people can't stand it! I quite enjoy cottage cheese myself. It's high in protein and low in calories so it turns your salad into a well balanced meal. Add chilly powder to up your metabolism and you'll have a wicked weight loss meal right there!
