This is what Beyoncé, Gisele, and more celebrities put in their salads
Because of course you want to know what makes them look like that.
Ask any celebrity what she eats and, guaranteed, you'll hear the word "salad." Those leafy, healthy dishes are the lifeblood of Hollywood's beautiful people and come in an infinite number of combos. From kale and seaweed for Beyoncé to watermelon and feta for Kate Hudson, here are some favourites that'll make you go "I'll have what she's having."
Ingredients: Butter lettuce, sliced apple, red onion, walnuts, blue cheese
You'll find this recipe in Chrissy's cookbook Cravings. "I can't imagine a single dish this wouldn't go with," she writes. She gives walnuts the cayenne-candied treatment, then makes a dressing with olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Ingredients: Kale, cucumber, carrots, nori sheets, coriander basil scallions, toasted almonds
Back when Beyoncé was doing the 22 Days Vegan plan, this kale and seaweed dish from Café Gratitude was one of her go-tos. For dressing, she had a mix of tahini, lemon, olive oil, garlic, and sesame oil.
Ingredients: Turkey, avocado, beans, over a bed of greens
Selena's longtime trainer Amy Rosoff Davis revealed the singer's "power salad" includes all of the above with a homemade dressing of red wine vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Ingredients: Kale, cherry tomatoes, beets, broccoli, sweet potatoes, quinoa, avocado, watercress
Gisele and her husband Tom Brady have a famously strict diet, and they love showing it off. This recipe is based on an Instagram the supermodel took. She seemingly skipped out on dressing (of course).
Ingredients: Bulgur, cucumbers, parsley, mint, red onion, garbanzo beans, feta cheese, pistachios
The actress shared a food diary on her hair company Living Proof's Instagram and included this combo of veggies. Instead of going for a bed of greens, she had bulgur as the base with the rest all mixed in.
Ingredients: Tofu, chili, beets, carrot, broccoli, quinoa, greens
One of the VS Angel's favourite food spots is Sweetgreen, and her choice salad is the Spicy Sabzi.
Ingredients: Shredded carrot, avocado, grape tomato, lemon juice, olive oil
Jessica calls this combo "one of [her] favourites," and even shared a video of her making it. Everything gets finely chopped and topped off with an olive oil and lemon dressing.
Ingredients: Arugula, watermelon, feta, shallots
The Fabletics founder got this salad recipe from Ina Garten and called it one of her favourite meals to have in the summer.
Ingredients: Grilled wild salmon, spinach, fennel, green olives, tomato, carrots
The supermodel has all of the above "finely chopped up" with lemon juice dressing for a typical lunch.
Ingredients: Pancetta, brussel sprouts, pistachios, manchego cheese, poached egg
The movie star reportedly dug into this salad while hanging out with George Clooney and other friends at the Napa Valley Grille. It was topped off with a red wine vinaigrette (and an order of burgers!).
Ingredients: Shredded chicken breast, chow mein noodles, pickled ginger, and carrots, avocado, lettuce
Khloé and her sisters frequent the L.A. restaurant Health Nut, which houses her go-to, the Chinese Chicken salad. She likes to add avocado to hers and pairs it with a mango iced tea.
Ingredients: Turkey breast and sunflower seeds on a bed of lettuce, with added avocado
Like Kim, Kourtney likes Health Nut's Chef Salad but opts for no cheese and adds avocado. The owner of the restaurant has said the sisters order from them almost everyday.
Ingredients: Spinach, grilled lime chicken, feta-ranch dressing
Atkins devotee Kim shared this simple recipe in a recent food diary. She's also a fan of Health Nut, however, and once tweeted that her favourite meal the Chef Salad (which has sliced turkey breast, mozzarella, tomatoes, sprouts, and sunflower seeds).
