As the weather warms up, many people are beginning to dust
off their grills and are getting ready for outdoor eating. It can be difficult to find healthy options
when typical cookout fare includes hamburgers and hot dogs. This summer, swap heavy, traditional sides in
favor of these lightened up suggestions from Bon’App!
Instead of macaroni
salad… go with a quinoa salad
Macaroni salad is loaded with fat-filled mayonnaise. One cup of the salad contains 358 Calories,
925 mg of Salt and 3 g of Bad Fat. A
great alternative is quinoa salad.
Quinoa is a whole grain and complete protein, containing all essential
amino acids. It can be paired with many
different vegetables and spices, making it an extremely versatile grain.

Instead of traditional
Cole Slaw… prepare a Vegetable Salad
While there are many different
ways to prepare Cole Slaw, nearly all of them include added sugar and
mayonnaise. Just a cup of this cabbage
mix is packed with 376 Calories, 4 g of Bad Fat, and 34 g of Sugar! A healthier option is a vegetables salad. Grill up veggies like corn, zucchini, squash,
and asparagus, and then chop and toss with a little dressing. Voilà !
Instead of heavy
potato salad…
try a lightened up version of potato salad
Potato salad is a classic cookout side, but it isn’t usually
the healthiest option. To cut down on
Calories and Bad Fat, try a lighter version that uses nonfat yogurt instead of mayonnaise. One serving of this recipe
has 167 Calories, 4g of Fiber, and 7g of Protein.
