Health Hint #7 Eat More Salads

Salads are a healthy choice for lunch or dinner. You can make it your entree or a side. Vary the ingredients you use in your salad so you don't get bored.
Here are some easy and tasty salad recipes:
  • Spring mix with olives, artichoke hearts, and feta cheese tossed with lemon vinaigrette
  • Spinach with apples, raisins, and cheddar cheese tossed with balsamic vinaigrette
  • Romaine lettuce with grape tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, green peppers, and grilled chicken breast tossed with your favorite dressing

Remember to go easy on the dressing, extra dressing adds calories. Eating a salad a day is an easy way to ensure you are getting your daily allowance of vegetables and is a great weight loss strategy.

    Can I go heavier on the dressing if it is extra virgin olive oil?

    You should still use dressing in moderatation even if it is extra virgin olive oil. More dressing adds more calories to your salad.
