Build a Smarter Summer Salad

Summer is a great time for salads. You can make a meal without turning on the stove and take advantage of all the great in-season produce. The salad bar seems to beckon in the summer, too; when heavier restaurant meals seem to weigh you down, a trip to the salad bar is a lighter option. But lurking in that salad bar (or your fridge) are salad staples that may up your fat and calorie intake more than you realize.

Build a Smarter Summer Salad will help you know what to keep and what to toss as you toss your next salad!
