• Try adding blanched vegetables like green beans, asparagus and broccoli. They’re low in calories, but high in vitamins, minerals and fiber.
• Add color with carrots, radishes, peppers and heirloom tomatoes. We first eat with our eyes, so appetizing foods are more likely to make us feel satisfied after eating.
• Fresh herbs will add large amounts of flavor without adding many calories.
• Season your lettuce with salt and pepper. You can get away with less salad dressing if you just season the lettuce and veggies with salt and pepper.

Making all these small changes to your salad eating habits can have a drastic effect on weight loss and overall health.
