Create a salad with all different types of greens. Add parsley, cilantro, basil, watercress to basic greens for an amazing burst of flavors, along with a little lemon and olive oil, no need for anything else. All these herbs are filled with great nutrients and help the body stay healthier.

Greens are loaded with nutritional value! They are a rich source of iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitamins C, K, E and many B vitamins, lutein and small amounts of omega 3 fats. Greens are low carb and packed with fiber. Why pop a pill when you can have more enjoyment eating your vitamins and minerals!

You're right- fresh salads are wonderful! And we need some fat to absorb the nutrients in greens and vegetables, so a light dressing with olive oil actually helps and is better than fat-free.
