Salads make healthy eating easy, but not all salads are created equal! Some salads (especially salads commonly found on café and restaurant menus) are filled with a surprising amount of calories.
It’s hard to keep track of how much oil and dressing is tossed through salads prepared by other people, so it’s best to make salads yourself at home so you can control the process.
Salads make the perfect, easy lunch or light dinner option when embarking on a fitness program, and if made with the right ingredients can provide a significant amount of your daily recommended fibre intake.
The trick is to focus on including as many fresh vegetables as possible, and avoid adding things like creamy dressings and excess salt, oil, croutons and bacon.
