Be creative and explore different ingredients. Roots and tubers, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets and carrots, are great options.

• Tip with carrots: wash the carrot well, keep the peel on and roast with salt, honey, rosemary and olive oil. After cooling, mix with a sauce of yogurt, curry, honey, olive oil, lemon juice and plenty of chopped mint. Leave to chill and top with more fresh mint, parsley, crunchy bitter leaves and toasted pumpkin seeds. This same technique works with beets and pumpkin.

2. Pay attention to your sauces and vinaigrettes

Dressings transform the salad. Make a balanced emulsion by combining fat (olive oil), acid (lemon or vinegar) and flavors (fruit, honey, mustard).

• Suggestion: try a passion fruit vinaigrette with the fruit pulp, olive oil, lemon juice and honey mixed well.

3. Mix leaves, herbs and proteins

Combine bitter leaves (radicchio, endive, watercress) with fresh herbs (mint, dill, coriander) for a fresh, sophisticated flavor.

• Add proteins like shrimp, pieces of meat, shredded chicken, salmon or cheese for a complete and rich salad.

4. Creativity

With a little creativity, any ingredient can be turned into an incredible salad. Use textures, sauces and freshness! Bring fruits, seeds, grains, proteins, different types of leaves and herbs and have a super salad.
