Fresh Plaza,  Power  salads  are  getting   their  day in the spotlight  as more

cookbooks, magazines and restaurants feature combinations of nutrient - rich vegetables, fruits, lean protein, nuts and other healthful foods. "A power salad is what you eat for your meal — it's the full deal," says Jessie Price, food editor of EatingWell magazine, which featured the subject in a recent issue. When you are  creating  a  power  salad, 

you want  to look down at your plate and make sure you see as many colors of the rainbow as possible, says Shira Bocar, deputy food editor of Whole Living magazine and a contributor to the new cookbook Power Foods. That colorful mix might include foods such as bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, avocados,   mushrooms, berries,    citrus    fruit,      mangoes,    apples,    pears    or      dried      fruits,
which  are  loaded  with  vitamins,  nutrients  and  fiber. Source:  Fresh  Plaza
