Food Fridays

Friday is food day!
I will post something about food/nutrition on Fridays.
Today’s topic: entree salads
A good healthy dinner is an entree salad. What is an entree salad? It is a salad that has veggies, carbs, and protein, so it can be a meal on its own. One of my favorites is to start with greens (any greens you like, could be a salad mix with lettuce, carrots and red cabbage, spinach, or any other leafy salad greens) and add a couple kinds of beans, corn, chopped up chicken, and croutons made from whole-grain bread. You can also add a little cheese, and your favorite dressing, but not too much of these since they tend to be high in fat and cholesterol.
If you are vegetarian or vegan, you could substitute tofu or fake chicken for the chicken and soy cheese for regular cheese.
