It's wintertime, which means your body is craving comfort food.  Yet eating a green salad every day is one of the healthiest habits you can get into.  The challenge during this cold season is to eat a least one healthy salad a day.  The bigger the better, as long as it's bigger in volume not in calories…which means more veggies and less dressings and fatty add-ons (bacon bits, croutons, cheese, etc.).  Below are some general salad guidelines:

Do's

• Get at least 2 cups of greens (Kale, Romaine, Spinach - NO ICEBURG)
• Eat 4oz or less of a lean meat (chicken, seafood, turkey - NO SALAMI OR HAM)
• Veggies, veggies, and more veggies

Don'ts

• No processed salad dressing (use only vinaigrette’s - homemade or store bought).
• No bacon bits or croutons
• No processed cheese (blue cheese or feta is acceptable, but no more than 2oz.)
• No candied or flavored nuts (only raw nuts, dried fruit (no sugar added) and/or fresh fruit)
