Your Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Better Salad

Laying the foundation for any salad starts with a bed of fresh greens. While iceberg or romaine offer hydration to your plate, the real nutrition comes from fiber- and nutrient-rich dark leafy greens like kale, mixed greens, or spinach (pictured). If all of one is too much for your taste buds, then try mixing two different greens together for a little variety. Whatever you decide, start with (at least) two cups of your favorite greens.
