Is Walnut Blue Cheese Salad Healthy?

Yes, walnut blue cheese salad is healthy. It is important to remember that the healthiness of any salad depends on the ingredients. This salad recipe contains salad greens, blue cheese, walnuts, and balsamic reduction. All of which are great for health.

Is Blue Cheese Good for You?

Blue cheese, aka bleu cheese, is good for you because it has several minerals and nutrients! Such as calcium and protein. Just like with anything, eat in moderation and do not abuse!

Can I eat Walnuts every day?

Yes, you can absolutely eat walnuts every day! However, I suggest you stay within the serving size, which is about one ounce or 7 whole walnuts! A serving of walnut contains about 185 calories. Relatively, this walnut blue cheese salad recipe calls for a 1/4 cup of walnuts. Feel free to reduce if that is too much. All tailor ingredients to your need!

Instructions

Place the greens into a clean bowl. If using greens from Farmers Market, ensure to wash and dry off the moisture before using.
Sprinkle some crumbled blue cheese on the salad greens.
Add the walnuts. If possible, break the walnuts instead of leaving them whole!
Finally, drizzle a tablespoon of balsamic reduction (balsamic glaze).

Notes

Make sure to wash and dry your greens properly before using if they don’t come already washed!

Feel free to trim or cut the salad leaves; I intentionally left them whole, but you don’t have to!

Add other things to this salad to make it more filling. Bake sweet potatoes, avocado, meat, or fish are a few to consider!

Easily make balsamic reduction; cheaper, healthier and better than store bought!🙌🏾
