With every meal, I like to include a side dish of salad. More often than not, I always include carrots in the salad. The carrots can be shredded or cut into little pieces, so that they are easier to eat with your main meal.
Carrots contain many nutrients that help to improve your health. Some of these include beta-carotene(Vitamin A), and anti-oxidants(cancer fighters).
Here is a carrot salad recipe you can use to create a quick salad, healthy snack or as a dessert. Take one full cup of shredded carrots, mix with half a cup of slivered almonds and another half a cup of raisins. Then drop the mixture and stir into a cup of plain yogurt, helping to create a delicious side dish, to your main meal.
Bon Appetit!

The sun is out, the sky is blue and the wind is still. There are people in your yard, enjoying a Sunday afternoon. They may not want a full meal, as it is a rather hot day. This is the best time to pull out an avocado salad recipe. An avocado salad has many more nutrients than most salads.
If some of your guests are on a low calorie or a low fat diet, then you can use alternative ingredients. Instead of a high calorie salad dressing, you can switch to a low calorie salad dressing. You can also replace the mozzarella cheese for a low fat cheese. For your chicken pieces, you can remove the skin and you will have lean chicken.
You may provide two versions of your salad, one with the normal ingredients and one with low calorie and low fat ingredients. Ability to choose their favourite version of the avocado salad recipe will surely please your guests.

A simple and quick macaroni salad recipe allows you to create a delicious side dish to complement the main meal. Your main meal may be barbecue ribs and you need a side dish to balance the strong taste of the meat.
You can use the standard ingredients for making a macaroni salad, or if you wish to make a low fat or a low calorie version, you can switch to alternative ingredients. For example, rather than using the high calorie mayonnaise, you can switch to a low calorie mayonnaise or use olive oil instead. I like the taste of olive oil, much more than the mayonnaise. You can also replace the cheddar cheese with low fat cheese.
There may be a slightly different taste, but the overall flavour should be close to the same.
