| My guide to make the right choices when visiting the salad bar... |
The joy of eating at a salad bar is that you can make healthy choices as to what to place in your container. A salad bar can be very nutritious, depending on your choices.
Foods to limit or avoid include mayonnaise and cream-based salads like potato salad, pasta salads and desserts. Cheese, bacon, and croutons are generally also high-fat options.
For the healthier choices go for the veggies, plain fruits, eggs, ham, beans and marinated salads. Also, avocado, olives, and nuts contain monounsaturated fat; a healthy choice.
