Salads can be a fresh and flavorful way to enjoy plant-based foods—but not all salads are equally healthy. 🥗 Just because it’s called a salad doesn’t mean it’s packed with nutrients. To truly build a better salad, use MyPlate as your guide and choose ingredients that help your body thrive. MyPlate is the official nutrition guide published by the USDA.

✔ Include a mix of vegetables, fruits, protein, grains, and dairy.
✔ Limit high-fat, high-sodium dressings or heavy toppings.
✔ Fill your bowl with a variety of colors and textures.

Eating a balanced salad supports your health by providing vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants—which could help reduce your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Ready to build yours? 🔗 Learn more: https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1257/
