Fresh and juicy during spring and summer months, strawberries are delicious when combined with tender spinach and crunchy toasted almonds.

Even kale needs some love. Massaging an acid-based dressing into the fibrous green leaves tenderizes them, making the healthy vegetable more palatable in its raw form.

I make a cabbage salad, yes another cabbage salad. Cabbage is good for you and I am constantly concocting new ways to eat it.

I eat the whole bowl which is really 4 servings. Zippo calories for an entire meal if you ask me but oh so healthy.

Not your average summer salad, this is a healthy take on a much higher calorie version served long ago at the Heidel House in Green Lake, WI. It works well instead of coleslaw or potato salad at a cookout or picnic.

If you don't like beets, give the golden variety a try. Not only will they not stain everything they touch, but they are sweeter. Combined with chewy farro, a tangy vinaigrette and salty Parmesan, this makes for a light supper or substantial side.
