Best Snacks





A fresh green salad is a perfect low calorie snack during the day. Dark green leafy vegetables are good sources of many vitamins and minerals your body needs to stay healthy, like vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium. They are also great sources of fiber. The darker the leaves, the more nutrients the vegetable usually has.


Basic Green Salad


This salad is a tossed green salad and may include romaine, escarole, endive, and arugula. Arugula easily reseeds itself in my garden and grows through the winter. It is a very strong tasting green but when mixed with all the others adds a wonderful flavor. Add cucumbers, red cabbage, red pepper, white onions, and carrots.
