Celebrities Salad Recipes
Alia Bhatt
The actress shared a video on her YouTube channel where she shared her favourite recipes, including a beetroot salad. According to the actress, she ate the salad constantly when she was shooting Dear Zindagi in Goa and it was too hot. All you need is some grated beetroot, yogurt, black pepper, chaat masala, and coriander leaves. She also adds a tadka at the end with oil, black mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida powder and curry leaves.
The Kardashians
Fans of Keeping Up With the Kardashians would know how obsessed the Kardashian clan is with salads. But if you’ve ever wondered what’s in those salad bowls, it’s an ultra-filling Chinese Chicken salad from LA-based eatery The Health Nut. If you want to recreate it at home, you’ll need a mix of hand-torn red cabbage, lettuce, shredded chicken breast, pickled ginger, and carrots. The key to this Kardashian Konstant is the salad dressing. It’s an apple-cider-vinegar-based dressing flavored with sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, onion, sesame seeds, and sugar. All you need to do is take all the ingredients, add the dressing and toss it until everything is mixed well together. Top it with some dry chowmein noodles and you’re done.
Madhuri Dixit
This Bollywood veteran’s favourite salad is an Italian-style Caprese salad made with tomatoes, basil leaves, and mozzarella cheese. Madhuri Dixit’s way of eating it is genius and efficient as she likes to divide the salad into bite sized offerings, with one of each ingredient skewered on individual toothpicks. She drizzles balsamic vinegar to give the salad a slight kick.
Beyoncé
Queen Bey’s go-to salad recipe is a vegan delight. All you need is a cucumber, carrots, kale, scallions, cilantro, and basil. The dressing is a mix of tahini, olive oil, sesame oil, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. The pop star tops off her salad bowl with toasted almonds, sunflower sprouts, and nori sheets.
Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa Shetty is a known fitness enthusiast and a foodie. In between glimpses of her drool-worthy, indulgent cheat meals, the celebrity shares images of her healthy salad bowls with greens from her own backyard Hydroponic farm. Her go-to salad recipe includes beetroot, spinach, lettuce, black olives, pomegranate, cucumber and apple tossed with a salad dressing. She tops it with some crumbled up cheese. All the greens are homegrown and organic.
Chrissy Teigen
In her cookbook Cravings, the model lists this salad recipe as her favourite, saying that she cannot imagine a dish that this won’t go with. The ingredients are simple, all you need is butter lettuce, sliced apple, red onion, walnuts, and blue cheese. Chrissy Teigen’s special hack involves toasting the walnuts, throwing them in maple syrup and then tossing them through a spice mixture of cayenne pepper, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. This gives the walnuts a sweet and salty flavour that adds a lot of value to this salad.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez’ trainer shared the recipe of the ‘Power salad’ favoured by the singer. It consists of turkey, avocado, beans, greens of your choice, tossed with a homemade dressing made of red wine vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Jacqueline Fernandez
Jacqueline Fernandez took to her YouTube channel to share the recipe of her ‘Zing salad’. The actress said she likes her salads to be full and claims that this recipe is super-filling and easy to make. All you need are some leafy greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta cheese, assortment of nuts and seeds, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic sauce, Himalayan salt, and pepper. Toss these ingredients together in a bowl and enjoy.
Kate Hudson
The classic rom-com icon calls this salad her favourite meal to eat in Summer. She calls it her “one-point wonder” recipe and says you don’t need to worry about the measurements of any ingredient, aside from the olive oil and agave for the dressing, because that’s where “your calories and points go”. All you need is watermelon, feta, cucumber, and mint. For the dressing, you need lime juice, onion, oil, agave, salt, and black pepper. You can serve it in a bowl or create individual skewers with the dressing drizzled on top.
