Eating salad is good for you — but not all salad greens are created equal. When you're selecting the base for your salad, the darker the color and more variety in your bowl, the better for packing the most nutritional punch into your meal. All high in vitamins A, C and K. Get the most benefit by making your own greens 'mix' with several dark leafed greens.
Here are the top nutrition-packed greens you can (and should) eat:
1. Kale ... and truly one of the best cancer-fighting vegetables you can eat
2. Spinach ... the darker the better, it contains more folic acid than most
3. Swiss Chard ... one of the healthiest greens you don't eat
4. Watercress ... more nutrition than Romaine and Leaf Lettuce
5. Romaine ... a good additional source of folic acid
Note: nowhere is mentioned Iceberg Lettuce ... hmmm
