How to Build a smarter salad

So as we know summer is here and everyone wants to look absolutely perfect in that size 2 bikini but even with eating right and working out, its still a tad bit tight.

Its now that time to start eating salads, and we'll tell you how to build a smarter salad, not only to help your body but to also satisfy your cravings.

While the quintessential pairing of ripened tomatoes and lettuce is certainly delicious, a salad can be so much more then just that. Adding fruits, nuts, and other well-chosen ingredients offers a welcome of change. More importantly, incorporating a few more nutritious ingredients is an easy way to serve a more healthful dish.

Mix and match ingredients to bring an array of nutrients, fresh tastes, and new textures to your plate.

Some hints are helow:

*Vegetable oils are rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fats.

*Tomatoes are loaded with vitamin C and lycopene.

*Seafood offers healthful omega-3 fats.

*Nuts and seeds provide protein, healthful fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

*Onions are plentiful sources of disease-fighting phenols and flavonoids.

*Greens provide folate, Vitamin A, and antioxidants.

So if your really trying to keep your body in good shape and your inner system just as healthy, I suggest a smarter salad in substitute for eating all those vitamin pills, you'll get natural and organic energy and your body will definitely feel alot healthier. Not that I'm saying don't take multi-vitamins, but keep in mind just cause your taking a multi-vitamin doesn't mean you can't eat salads. Just a thought...more salad idea's to come in the future, keep your eyes peeled.
