Make Your Own Salad Anyday!

Each Dining Services restaurant has a salad bar available every day. The pictures here are the salad bars at Plaza Cafe (Revelle College) and Pines (Muir College.)

The following items on Dining salad bars are ORGANIC: carrots, black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, broccoli, cucumbers, olives, romaine lettuce, spinach, spring mix and tomatoes.

There are many ways to make a healthy salad but here are a few tips:

1. Choose many different colors of vegetables

2. Choose oil-based dressings over cream-based dressings OR opt for oil & vinegar

3. Include beans, hard-boiled eggs or sunflower seeds to make your salad more hearty

4. Try salad bars all over campus to keep you from getting bored AND walking to a new location is good exercise!

Come see me dishing out the Real Deal on Nutrition at Plaza Cafe TODAY!

I will be serving the LiveWell meal TODAY at Plaza Cafe! Come by to pick up a healthy meal and be sure to say hi to me. I am happy to answer your nutrition questions as well.
