I think that more people are becoming health conscious these days and one of the healthiest choices are salads. Each salad can be very unique depending on the ingredients and the dressing. Mine has thinly sliced cucumbers and carrots for presentation along with a simple grape tomato for added color and nutrients.

It is wise to limit the amount of dressing because I have noticed that the majority of calories consumed are from this source of fat. Today, I opted for a simple balsamic vinegarette dressing because it is light, tastes delicious, and is very refreshing on a hot summer day.
