Healthy creative salads are tasty and easy. The secret is to have vegetables ready to toss in a salad making your own daily choices so you have a variety and don’t get bored with the same old salad ingredients.
My favorite sandwich wrap is oat bran, flax, and wheat filled with salad ingredients sprinkled with Olive Oil and Vinegar. I add a fruit and a glass of milk for a great lunch.
