4 tricks to make salads richer in protein

These little tricks will help you increase the protein content in your salad recipes and thus make them more balanced:

• In pasta salads, use dried legume pasta. If you make pasta salad, choose legume pasta (there is lentil pasta, chickpea pasta…). This way you will eat double the amount of protein.
• Put hemp seeds in it. Grind two tablespoons of hemp seeds with one tablespoon of nutritional yeast and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle on your salad and gain 13 g of protein.
• Enrich dressings with proteins. Try making vinaigrettes using nut or seed creams (peanut, almond, tahini…) or dress with tofu mayonnaise.
• Legumes as a complement. Change the typical corn in salads for cooked chickpeas or edamame.
