There are many ways to add protein to your salad! Here are a few ideas: Meat: Grilled chicken, steak, or sauteed shrimp. Fish: Canned or baked salmon, canned or seared tuna, or flaky white fish. Eggs: Hard-boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, or even a soft-boiled egg on top. Beans and lentils: A great source of protein and fiber. Try chickpeas, black beans, or lentils. Tofu or tempeh: Baked tofu, pan fried tofu or marinated tempeh adds a satisfying meaty texture to vegetarian salads. Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and hemp seeds all offer protein and healthy fats.
