Tuesday Tip of the Day ~Adding Interest to your Green Salad

With spring weather right around the corner, 

we are focusing on light and fresh dishes for dinner.

I like to add some fruit to my Green Salads,

so I am taking advantage of the strawberries that are in peak season.

You can add flavor and crunch with purchased salad toppings.

Just remember to use moderation...

there are 40 calories and 3 grams of fat in 1.5 tablespoons.

These 100 calorie snack packs are great to have on hand.

I used a package of these walnuts and almonds for our salad on Easter.

It was just the right amount for our small gathering.

Happy Spring!
