Beware of Salad-Bar Syndrome

Then you can factor in those other creamy, dreamy salads. Just 1/4 cup of tuna salad is a whopping 190 calories and 1/4 cup potato salad is 100 calories. Now that you know how quickly a good salad can go bad, here are some good ways to keep it light. Opt to take a smaller plate and make fewer trips.
Load up on the greens and power proteins such as turkey, beans and ham. Skip the mayo-based salads, along with the croutons, bacon bits, fried noodles, nuts and seeds. Use a low-fat or fat-free dressing and stick to two tablespoons. Or go for just vinegar as your dressing. Enjoy fresh fruit or cottage cheese as your post-salad selection. All in all, keep your diet goals in perspective when filling up that plate.
