Looking For Ways To Dress Up Your Salad?

09/03/2014

Try easy to make dressings to bring variety to your salads and “lighten up” on the calories while doing so. When choosing lettuce, keep in mind the darker the better. Romaine, spinach, and kale are packed with healthy antioxidant vitamins A & C, folate, and iron. Add other veggies for color, such as yellow squash, carrots, tomatoes, and celery. Anytime there are a variety of colorful vegetables in a meal, this means plenty of heart-healthy vitamins are present. For healthy, monounsaturated fats, add nuts, such as almonds, peanuts, or pistachios.

To top off your salad, try these delicious dressings:
