Salads are the quintessential healthy lunch, but let’s be real, they aren’t always satisfying. You may start your day with the best intentions, having a healthy smoothie or protein bar for breakfast and your meal-prepped greens for lunch, only to find yourself digging around your snack drawer an hour later. Sound familiar? But make yourself a high-protein salad and you’ll be satisfied until dinner.
According to F-Factor founder and fiber queen Tanya Zuckerbrot, the reason why some people don’t find salads filling is because they’re missing two key ingredients: lean protein and non-starchy veggies. Yes, fiber-rich greens are important, but without the protein, it just isn’t going to be all that satiating. To drive this point home, she posted a four-step salad building guide to Instagram.

Besides lean protein, which includes grilled chicken, turkey, tuna, and tofu, Zuckerbrot emphasizes the importance of including some non-starchy veggies like cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, or beets, too. Zuckerbrot says this is a crucial step as it’s a low-calorie way to add more fiber, which will keep you feeling full longer.
Even a high-protein salad can taste pretty bland without a yummy dressing to top it off, but creamy dressings are also often a hidden source of sugars and other additives. This brings us to Zuckerbrot’s fourth salad-building rule: capping your dressing at two tablespoons, which ensures getting the flavor without coating your healthy ingredients in something not-so good for you. Or, in leu of dressing, she recommends using simple lemon juice or vinegar to add zest.
