National Salad Month
This month is dedicated to promoting healthy eating through salads and getting creative with fresh vegetables and greens.
The Association for Dressing and Sauces first established National Salad Month in 1992. This was to encourage people to have healthier eating habits and incorporate more salads into their daily diets.
The entire month of May highlights the nutritional benefits of salads, including vitamins, fibre, and antioxidants and emphasises the versatility of leafy greens and vegetables.
The purpose of this month is to get people to try new salad recipes and ingredients. It is an opportunity for nutritionists, health professionals, schools and community organisations to educate people about balanced diets and the role of salads in maintaining good health.
The ways to celebrate are to have a daily salad challenge, a different salad to explore new flavours and textures. Have a salad evening were everyone brings their own variation of a salad. Why not learn new salad making techniques and recipes.
