Tortilla Greens Chickpeas Salad Bowl with Refried Bean Dates dressing

The reason why I like to prepare my own meal at home. Because I realized that outside meals are contain too much sodium and fats. Even on salad, they added too much salad dressing to make it taste more delicious. Yes, that’s true it tastes delicious. But it contains too much salt and fats and that’s not good to our body. To avoid it, actually it’s very easy to make your own salad dressing at home. And of course by making your own salad dressing you can leave out the salt. And here I make my own salad with my own salad dressing. Always remember, being healthy is precious!
