Eating enough protein is essential for successful weight loss. Not only does protein help keep you full, it also builds and maintains lean muscle, and can boost your metabolism—helping you burn more calories throughout the day.

This salad, shared by Jenn Williamson, who lost an incredible 280 pounds with the help of LifeRx.md’s personalized weight loss treatments, proves that healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring. It’s vibrant, refreshing, and packed with texture and flavor.

Whether you top it with chicken, steak, or both—you’ll double your protein potential and keep your taste buds satisfied.

🥗 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Veggies

Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
Slice the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and celery.
Dice or shred carrots if needed.

Step 2: Plate Your Salad

Start with a base of chopped kale.
Layer on the sliced vegetables, black beans, edamame, and olives.

🔧 Tips & Customizations

• Add More Veggies: Try snap peas, red cabbage, roasted sweet potatoes, jalapeños, shaved Brussels sprouts, cucumber, avocado, grated beets, broccoli, microgreens, or sprouts.

• Cut the Calories: Nuts and dried fruits are nutrient-dense but calorie-rich. For a lower-calorie salad, reduce or omit the walnuts, pistachios, and cranberries—these three ingredients alone add about 155 calories.

• Choose the Right Dressing: Many store-bought dressings are loaded with hidden calories and sugar. Always check the label—or make your own lighter versions at home!
