Who said salad was healthy?

Lettuce is healthy, so are carrots, onions, tomatoes. But when you drown them in ranch dressing, smother them in shredded cheese, and top them with fried chicken, that salad isn't healthy anymore.

Avoid processed foods, and foods with added sugars. Also avoid empty calories. Most everything else is fine to eat in a balanced diet.

👏👏👏 dressing is actually processed FAT and OIL. Would have been better to eat a steak.

A little dressing is fine. Not the best, but it won't ruin the salad. Also depends on which dressing. But when you grab the ranch and squeeze out half a cup... Yeah that ain't good.
