Salad offers such variety, try a different one each day

Salad offers such variety, try a different one each dayThough we aren't staunch advocates of eating at your desk (even though we do it all the time), bringing lunch from home is a good way to save money and calories.

When you can't stand the thought of one more low-fat, low-calorie, low-sodium protein-with-pasta microwaveable entree, consider the salad.

You could eat salad five days a week and never get bored as long as you change the flavors. Look for interesting dressings or make your own. You decide if they should be fat-free, low-fat or fully loaded.

Think about global flavors: Asian, Latin, Southwestern or French. Adding protein to the greens will hold off hunger longer, though it is smart to have some fruit and nuts handy for later in the afternoon.
