A salad is an easy and delicious way to consume 3-4 servings of vegetables in one meal. Salads are also easy to prepare ahead of time, making them ideal for taking to the office for lunch or as a quick dinner, when life is busy. There are many nutritional benefits of eating vegetables raw or uncooked, as the nutrients are retained more readily since there is no heat applied to the vegetables.

• Romaine lettuce, chopped 4 cups 
• Arugula 3 cups 
• Spinach 3 cups 
• Cucumber, diced 1 cup 
• Radish, diced 1 cup 
• Avocado, diced ½ full avocado 
• Egg, hardboiled ½ full egg 
• Turkey, roasted & diced 2 cups (fresh turkey, nitrate free from the deli)
