As vegetable lover or so they called vegetarian, you might have wonder what type of vegetables choice out there that are suitable for cooking? Or making salad? To eat it raw?  Other than trying to search for fresh vegetable salad recipes, take a look for our suggestion regarding vegetables choice that are recommendable to use.

Cook it!

There are many ways to cook vegetables. We can either boil them and boiling vegetables is as easy as placing chunks of your favorite vegetable in boiling water. Second, use steam. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus, zucchini and green beans are great choices because they’re sturdier and won’t turn to mush too easily. Next, stir-fry. Because a quick stir-fry is one of the fastest, easiest, tastiest ways to make a last-minute vegetable side dish to suit any meal. One more way is to grill your vegetables. Some vegetables take a minute or two to cook and others take longer. Denser vegetables like potatoes will take the longest to cook. Keeping them over too high a heat for too long will char them on the outside while keeping them raw on the inside. To prevent burning, sear vegetables over high heat, then move them to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking. Or precook them and just give them a few minutes on the grill to get some color on the outside.

Vegetables Choice for Salad

Now the vegetables choices for salad making. First, go with the most common used, lettuce.  Add raddichio, romaine, kale or spinach leaves to your salad to increase fiber, vitamins and minerals.  Raw broccoli adds crunch and powerful phytochemicals, nutrients found only in plants, to your salad. Try packaged broccoli slaw for a different texture.  Onions add spice and depth to salads. Choose from scallions, red onions or even leeks for a flavor and health boost.  Radishes add zest, potassium, and vitamin C. Include white, red and even pink varieties for a splash of color.  Cherry tomatoes are perfect in a salad and a good source of phytochemicals.  Mushrooms are becoming more popular by the day, adding an earthy taste and texture as well as minerals to salads.  Shredded cabbage may sound like an old favorite to you. But cabbage is important in cancer prevention.  Herbs are a great new addition to salad ingredients. If you have an herb garden, pick whatever is green and leafy and toss it in your salad.  Shredded carrots are the perfect way to add a depth of color and essential beta-carotene to your salad.
