Some of the veggies that thrive in the arctic climate include beets, carrots, kale, Swiss chard, and onions. These vegetables are loaded with nutrients and are the perfect base for a healthy salad.

Tip 2: Include Healthy Proteins Including healthy proteins is a great way to ensure that your arctic salad is both filling and healthy. Some of the best proteins to include in your salad include tuna, salmon, and chicken breast. These proteins provide essential nutrients such as Omega-3 and help keep you feeling full for longer periods of time. When selecting your proteins, it is important to choose those that are sustainably sourced and free of additives. Select wild-caught fish from reputable sources, and choose chicken that is free-range and hormone-free. This will ensure that your salad is both healthy and environmentally friendly. Tip 3: Choose the Right Dressing The dressing is an essential component of any salad, and it is no different with arctic salads.

When selecting your dressing, opt for oils that are high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as olive oil and avocado oil. Avoid dressings that are high in sugar or artificial preservatives, as these can detract from the overall flavor of your salad.
