The best way to express your creativity in a kitchen is to prepare a complete salad lunch, I mean a whole meal on its own.
The aim is to mix the main ingredients necessary to remain healthy. Vegetables, leguminous plants, starches, proteins and grease. Even if you are vegetarian, vegan or something else you can prepare a balanced meal.
I used to eat mixed salad for lunch because it's easy to bring to work and doesn't need to be reheated. Anyway, it is simply delicious, fresh and enables to feel different tastes and textures.
This kind of salad offers many possibilities to mix ingredients. So, if one is unavailable, you can easily use another instead.
