Going Green: Salads

Apple-Cider-ChickenWhether you’re watching your weight or just trying to eat a little healthier, salads always make a perfect main meal! Salad greens come in a variety of different flavours.  From peppery arugula and watercress to bitter radicchio and arugula, the key in preparing a great salad is to use fresh greens and herbs  that are in season.  Why not incorporate peppery or bitter greens with a milder taste such as red/green leaf lettuce or spinach and add fresh herbs like parsley, chervil or chives?  You’ll be sure to have a variety of flavours in each bite.  Top with fresh seasonal vegetables, lean grilled chicken and a light homemade dressing for a low-fat nutritious meal.
