Tips to make your healthy eating resolution easier <\/h3>\n<p>Summer tends to leave, along with the photos of the beach, another kind of memories: those <strong>extra kilos<\/strong> that accompany the excesses at the <strong>beach bar<\/strong>. So if your back-to-school resolution is to get on a plan and <strong>start eating healthier<\/strong>&#8230; congratulations, because our <strong>chef Carlos Caballero<\/strong> is going to make it a little easier for you. Avoid boring salads with only oil and vinegar and take note of these simple tips and tricks.  <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17118\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pilsa.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Depositphotos_3393254_l-2015-1024x680.jpg\" width=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p>Yogurt is a perfect ally for salad dressing \/ Y. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Dressings<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The traditional <strong>vinaigrette<\/strong> has three quarters oil, one quarter vinegar and salt. Change the salt for soy, the sesame or coconut oil and the vinegar for lime juice, lemon juice or mustard. <\/li>\n<li>Add <strong>aromatic herbs<\/strong> such as spices, some sweet element such as honey or orange juice (but in this case, I raise the salt point a little).<\/li>\n<li>Say NO to vinaigrettes with 18 ingredients&#8230; As in fashion, less is more. Of course, if the salad is not a side dish, but the main course, then, complicate your life a little and try new things like introducing vegetables and nuts in moderation. <\/li>\n<li>Hearty salads (endive, raw cabbage, etc.) look great with creamy dressings made, for example, with yogurt and lemon juice, white pepper, chopped mint and olive oil.<\/li>\n<li>If <strong>yogurt<\/strong> does not convince you when it comes to dressing, try mashed avocado seasoned with oil, paprika, salt and lemon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato<\/strong> can also be a great ally as a dressing. Chop it into very small pieces and macerate it with thyme, chives, chilli, crushed garlic, oil, salt and nuts. <\/li>\n<li>Do you love <strong>garlic<\/strong> but find it indigestible? Rub it on the plate where you are going to serve the salad, so you will have flavor without having to eat it. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17119\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pilsa.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/salad-2756467_1920-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pilsa.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/salad-2756467_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pilsa.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/salad-2756467_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pilsa.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/salad-2756467_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pilsa.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/salad-2756467_1920.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.pilsa.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/salad-2756467_1920.jpg 1920w\" width=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p>Try mixing all kinds of greens, fruits, seeds and vegetables in your salad. \/ Y. <\/p>\n<h2>Tricks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelow.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Yelow<\/strong><\/a> a <strong>lettuce spinner<\/strong>.
