An Unhealthy Salad?

Going to a salad bar doesn't guarantee a healthy meal. For the most nutritious plate, choose dry vegetables (not soaked in sauces and oils) of many colors. If your favorite dressing is high in fat, put it in a separate container and use it as a dip. To assemble a healthy salad bar lunch, start by filling your plate with darkly colored lettuces, then pile on bell peppers, tomatoes, beans and any other "dry" veggies of as many colors as you can. For protein, add dry tuna, chicken breast, turkey or tofu. If you wish, add a sprinkling of cheese. Remember, add-ons like cheese, dressing and oil have lots of hidden calories and fat, so use them sparingly for the most nutritious meal.
