    When I stayed in Madrid, I was amazed at the simplicity of the salads there. No cheese necessary. No rich dressings. Oil and vinegar is all you need with a touch of sea salt. Simplicity doesn't mean flavorless. Thank you for this video!

    I have lost weight eating this salad for much lunches. I just use about a teaspoon of oil, and water packed tuna. One serving is under 250 calories. So delicious.

    • @MrZxcvbnm22
      @MrZxcvbnm22 Před 2 lety +8

      Dont obsess over calories. Oil has a lot of calories, but by eating healthy fat you are educating your body to use the fat. So it will use the stored fat. You won't get fat if you don't overeat carbs (sugar). And it's very difficult to overeat fats since if you eat fat you are very easily satieted. One of the best foods you can eat is a greasy hamburger. Very nutritious (more if you accompany it by an egg and some onion) and satiating. By the way, eggs are also very good for you. You can eat over 20 eggs per week. It's a the most nutrituius food that you can eat it just by itself.

      @@MrZxcvbnm22 Hi. I just have to say this...I understand what you're saying about healthy fats, and to limit sugar. No doubt about it that's great advice. But..."One of the best foods you can eat is a greasy hamburger. Very nutritious..." ummmm...no. Just no. Greasy hamburgers are neither nutritious or good for you in any way I can think of. There are lots of ways to feel satiated, and you're very right about healthy fats, but in my opinion, a greasy hamburger's detriment to one's health far outweighs any benifit.

    • @MrZxcvbnm22
      @MrZxcvbnm22 Před 2 lety

      @@singingheartjewelry I'm just talking about the meat, nt the whole hamburger (no bread, no sweet sauces). Just the meat accompanied with onions. There's few foods that are more nutrituinal than a hamburger. tons of mienrals, tons of protein, tons of vitamins, tons of fat. Just cook it well, don't burn it and don't eat it raw. I know people link hamburguers with obesity, but it's a misconception. And I say hamburguer is healthier than a steak because it has more fat. Super lean meats aren't the best for you...

      When I was in high school during summer break, my mother and I would meet my dad several times a week for lunch and our favorite things to get were their big salads.
      This one was my favorite (though I was partial to a Catalina style red French dressing with it occasionally), but sometimes I’d go for this with chicken and some cheese which was my mom’s favorite. My dad liked his more like a chef’s salad with ham, turkey and cheese. So I know for sure it’s good any of those ways. And this dressing is wonderful with tuna OR chicken!
