Quick Win

Add crunch and tangy flavor to your meals with a delicious, nutritious daily salad.

Try This Today

  • Go green. For a bountiful garden salad, start with a bed of greens and then go to town with toppers like raw vegetables, cooked veggies, nuts and seeds, fresh herbs and feta cheese. Our Big Beautiful Summer Salad is a showstopper.
  • Stay simple – but not boring. Tomatoes and cucumbers are a winning combination — and make a classic Mediterranean-style salad. See for yourself in our delicious, crunchy Persian Cucumber & Tomato Salad.
  • Make it a meal. Turn any salad into a meal by adding protein. Our Superfood Chopped Salad and Hummus & Greek Salad will fill you up without weighing you down. 

Why

Plant-based diets rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables, particularly green-leafy vegetables and berries, are associated with better brain health, according to “Brain Food,” a 2018 report from the Global Council on Brain Health.
