Sometimes salads get a bad rep for being boring or are depicted by diet culture as a sad bowl of plain lettuce, but this is simply not true. Salads can be balanced meals packed with beneficial nutrients and flavor. They are also versatile and can be enjoyed as a side dish. This blog post shares the best salads curated by our dietitians.
Why do we love salads so much?
Salads are a great type of meal for the following reasons:
- Rich in fiber to support a healthy gut
- An easy way to boost your fruit & vegetable intake
- Packed with beneficial nutrients to help your body fight off toxins & reduce inflammation
