Great Post and good information!!! When I was younger, I loaded my plate with alittle of everything, not good. After I left, I was miserable, too much sodium/sugar. Then, I realized that I am allergic to MSGs, so my trips to salads bars are limited, but if I do go I select all fresh produce. Dressing is either vinegar or lemon juice or on rare occasion (lite dressing). I’m not perfect, because I do take a piece of cheese bread (thank goodness the pieces aren’t too big)!

@Blondefabulous That is a great question! Most condiments contain a high level of sodium, such as, salad dressings, sauces and dips. Luncheon meats, bacon, sausage and ham can also be high in sodium. Also, the soups at the salad bar and the prepared hot foods will have a high sodium content. Salt will probably be added to these items during cooking. However, fresh vegetables and fruits are naturally low in sodium. That is another reason to fill up your salad plate with these wonderful items!
