      Pick Powerful Greens
      Up your salad's nutrition power by opting for darker lettuces like romaine (which has loads of vitamin A and C) or arugula (which has lots of vitamin K), and skip the iceberg which is not as nutrient-dense. Or supercharge your salad with nutrient-dense dark, leafy greens like spinach, kale, or chard.
