Tips

Try varying the greens—Romaine lettuce, mesclun, arugula, or other, depending on your preference and inspiration!

Always keep your pantry stocked with tins of legumes (lentils, chickpeas, black or red beans, etc.). Legumes are not only economical, nourishing, and versatile, they are also an excellent source of plant protein.
