Salad is everyone’s go-to healthy food, but you can easily ruin it by adding a bunch of unnecessary ingredients. Here’s five you should definitely avoid the next time you make this meal.
Creamy Dressings
Creamy dressings such as ranch and blue cheese are often very high in calories and fat, and they won’t make your salad any healthier.
Croutons
Bread croutons are very popular salad dressing, but you should avoid them if you don’t want a carb-heavy salad.
Honey Glazed Nuts
If you’re a fan of adding nuts to your salad, at least try to avoid honey glazed ones since your sugar intake will end up going through the roof.
Bacon Bits
Bacon sounds like an ingredient that no one in their right mind would put in a salad, but it’s actually a pretty popular addition. However. it’s an extremely counter-productive option.
Fried Foods
Adding fried foods to your salad is recipe for disaster, since they’re loaded with unnecessary calories and sodium.
