Did you know that May is National Salad Month?? I didn't either. But now that I know, I've been inspired to spend the next few weeks eating greens, grains, and veggies.? This can be dangerous, though, for people trying to lose weight.? If you don't make your salad carefully, it can be full of fat and calories.
Make a Healthy Salad
Make a base for your salad by choosing greens that you like.? Foodies might cringe, but I recommend iceberg.? Iceberg lettuce gets a bad rap, but it adds crunch and texture without adding calories.? Toss it with spinach romaine, or arugula for a flavorful healthy mix.
Then add a lean protein.? A low calorie meat or dairy product will help you to feel full and satisfied with your meal.? Finally, fill up the bowl with colorful veggies.
