The Great Salad Caper

You already know that Caesar is the black sheep of the salad family (a restaurant-size portion can net you a not-so-cool 75 grams of fat!). But according to HealthGal nutritionist Amy Hendel, we might be committing other crimes against the salad bar that we're not aware of. A few of the common ways people corrupt their salads:

Adding real bacon.

Opting for creamy dressings, or using too much of an oil-based dressing.

Piling on too much avocado.

Topping off with cheese crumbles and croutons.
