Eat your leafy greens! These healthy recipes are a great way of getting your servings of vegetables. Of course, we also mix in a few extras as well. Our salads are more than just lettuce; they can be an entire meal.

Zesty Bean Salad
According to the American Dietetics Association, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, including beans, is linked with a lower risk of lung, oral, esophageal, stomach and colon cancer. It’s not yet clear which components in vegetables and fruits are the most protective against cancer, so enjoy a variety of whole foods naturally rich in nutrients.
Fill at least two-thirds of your plate with vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans. Also, eating a diet loaded with these plant-based foods can help you stay at a healthy weight.
