Six Reasons Why You Need To Have Salads In Your Diet

The study, conducted by the UCLA School of Public Health, and published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association (JADA),* found that those who eat salads and raw vegetables with salad dressing have considerably higher levels of vitamins C, E, and folic acid— all key nutrients in promoting a healthy immune system.

Salads are a great way to meet your daily recommendation for fruits and vegetables.
