Does this salad sound healthy?

Question

Lettuce, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, croutons, boiled egg, red onion and Fat-free dressing and sweet peas on top.

Is it still healthy although there are sunflower seeds on it (1/2 cup)?

Answer 1

ya that sounds healthy, the only thing that wouldn't be that great would be the croutons because they have a lot of carbs, and carbs that aren't burned off turn into sugar which turns into fat

Answer 2

Sounds really good.

Make sure to not over do it on the croutons

and make sure the sunflower seeds are unsalted.

Answer 3

it sounds very healthy. fat free dressing is good, and sunflower seeds are great too because they do have fat, but its the good kind and they have lots of protein too. dont use too many croutons, but it sounds like a very healthy salad. :)

Answer 4

yeah its healthy. oh now im up for a salad now!!! yay!!!! lol ;]

Answer 5

That sounds really healthy, if the sunflower seeds are unsalted!

Also, it will be even more healthy if the lettuce is romaine, and not iceberg. Maybe try adding some cucumbers and/or carrots too for extra color and a wider taste variety! =]

Answer 6

OH YEA! Make sure they are unsalted! WOOOOT to healthy salads!

Answer 7

Yes, sunflower seeds are actually very good for you.  Walnuts, pine nuts, almonds all have protein in them, plus other good for vitamins and minerals - the seeds are better for you than the croutons.

Try making your own dressing...it'll take out preservatives which have alot of added chemicals in it - basamic vinegar with extra v irgin olive oil is good.

Answer 8

for the most part but maybe cut it down to 1/4 of a cup instead of 1/2 and maybe either do the sunflower seeds OR the croutons and you could also take the yolk out of the egg (if it doesn't get too messy) that would make it lower calorie but if you leave the yolk it would increase the protein so you should take that into consideration.

hope this helps!

Answer 9

yeah, sunflower seeds will be okay, it adds more flavor.
