Salad recipes

Almost all salads are made by using raw vegetables and they are very good for our health.

Many salad basics, including tomatoes, sweet peppers and the greens, are chock-full of antioxidants. Add high fiber and low calories into the mix and you can't go wrong including a salad in your daily diet. Eating enough fiber earlier in life lowers the risk of developing heart disease later in life. Add nuts, seeds or beans to the salad, to get a boost of soluble fiber that helps lower cholesterol and keeps blood sugar balanced.
