Health Tip
Choose a healthy salad
Salad may sound like
a healthy choice, but
depending on what you
include, it can add up
to hundreds of calories
and much more than
the recommended
daily amount of salt.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these suggestions to keep your salad healthy:
• Avoid ingredients such as bacon, fried chicken or shrimp.
• Include lean proteins, such as grilled chicken or tuna.
• Ask for dressing on the side, then use it in moderation.
• Limit high-fat toppings such as nuts, noodles or cheese.
• Choose spinach, arugula or romaine lettuce over iceberg lettuce.
• Ask for extra vegetables.
