Benefits of No Lettuce Salads

Even without lettuce or leafy greens these salads are a great addition to any meal – here’s why:

  • help us get our daily servings of vegetables and fruits (4-6 for kids and 7-10 for adults)
  • offer different coloured fruits and veggies
  • last longer in the fridge than salads with lettuce or leafy greens
  • provide a change of flavour and nutrients
  • add extra texture
  • can often be made with canned or frozen fruits and veggies

For the most flavorful and economical salads choose ones that feature seasonal ingredients; for example strawberry spinach salad in June, watermelon salad in July and carrot salad in fall. Read more about Seasonal Foods.
