Dole Salads are Perpetual Mood Boosters

In search of a fresh, crispy summer salad? Then look no further, because Dole offers a nice garden variety (literally) of amazing salad mixes all prepackaged for immediate use. The salads range from crispy-crunchy to tender and are the first step towards an easy, healthy lunch, appetizer, or side dish.

My favorites are the Spring Mix, which can be eaten almost as a stand-alone item with the dressing or vinaigrette of your choice, and the Baby Spinach mix, which blends nicely with mandarin oranges and Honey Dijon Dressing. Also try combining the Baby Spinach with a variety of other fruits for an extra summery experience: Strawberries, apples, blueberries, grapes, or pineapple chunks.

As a rule of thumb: Salad mixes with fruits added go well with a nice (fruit-based) vinaigrette, such as a blueberry pomegranate vinaigrette that is low in calories and fat free.

Replacing one meal with a nice summer salad will not only allow you to lose significant amounts of weight in reasonable intervals, but will also boost your mood and confidence, making you feel and look your best.

Happy crunching!
