You know what sounds like delicious lunch? A big salad. But is it just me, or do they always leave you wanting more an hour later? Since a bunch of lettuce just won’t cut it, add a boost of protein to your next bowl. Aside from keeping you satisfied longer, it’s essential to muscle-building, hormone production and energy (and you can get it from grains, vegetables and fruits, in addition to the usual meat or tofu).
From citrus-shrimp quinoa salad to corn fritter caprese with peaches and tomatoes, these high-protein salad recipes are hearty and sure to please. Most importantly, they're easy enough for beginners to tackle and impressive enough to serve to guests.
