    How to Make Hearty Greens and Grains Salad

    1. Prepare the Salad Base

    Begin by laying a plush bed of romaine lettuce into a serving bowl as your canvas.

    2. Add Cooked Grains

    Scatter half a cup of cooked quinoa over the romaine lettuce.

    3. Introduce Roasted Vegetables

    Add a generous cup of roasted sweet potatoes to the bowl.

    4. Add Raw Vegetables

    Introduce a quarter cup of thinly sliced red bell pepper for a sparkle of freshness.

    5. Dress the Salad

    Drizzle a quarter cup of your favorite salad dressing over the layered ingredients and give the salad a gentle toss.

    6. Add Creamy Avocado and Protein

    Fan out half an avocado on one side of the bowl and nestle a halved hard-boiled egg on the opposite side.

    7. Garnish with Chives and Nuts

    Sprinkle snipped chives and a handful of sliced almonds over the top.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Incorporate a variety of flavors

    sweet, tangy, and umami via ingredients like dried fruits, vinaigrette or citrus, and cheese or roasted nuts.
