Salad toppers: 7 delicious additions to enhance any salad
From halloumi to crispy onions, spiced nuts and raw broccoli slaw, a few simple upgrades can work wonders
Transform a bland bed of greens into a tantalising masterpiece with a few simple upgrades. The following ingredients add texture and flavour to any salad. So go get topping and wait for your diners to say: “Seconds, please”.
Crispy halloumi
Bust out your frying pan, sizzle up a serving of halloumi, and pop some chopped up fried cheese on top of your greens. Don’t worry – pan frying won’t melt halloumi like many other kinds of cheese. Instead, searing this delicious treat will create a crunchy exterior with a soft yet chewy texture. Plus, since halloumi is brined, it adds a nice salty taste.
Crispy onions
This is a winner salad topper – lightly fry onions in olive oil and then dehydrate to a crisp in either the oven or a dehydrator. These munchies are surprisingly sweet and addictive. Toss them in with your greens or mound them on top of your healthy veggie bowl. I sprinkle these candied onions on practically everything. It’s one of my favourite recipes in my upcoming cookbook, FOOD YOU WANT For The Life You Crave!
Terra chips
