Seeking Summer Salads?

During the summer we are often seeking summer salad options to add to our menu.  To improve the health of your meal, avoid these old fashioned favorites which contain high calories and fat intake.
Consider this info from WebMD:

Mayonnaise-Based Salads

A small half-cup portion of typical potato salad has 180 calories and 12 grams of fat; the same amount of coleslaw has about 150 calories and 8 grams of fat. To cut calories, try making your salads with light mayonnaise; or mix mayo with low-fat yogurt, light sour cream, or chicken stock. Or why not try a German-style potato salad, using more vinegar than oil? Then toss lots of veggies into any salad to increase the fiber and nutrients.
