Eat off of the salad bar for a quick and nutritious lunch. Load up on vegetables and limit the cheese and salad dressings to help reduce calories and fat. We offer fat free Italian, fat free raspberry vinaigrette and fat free ranch dressings. Use a small amount of dressing and try adding banana peppers to your salad for extra taste. Additional toppings like croutons, sunflower seeds, fried onions, and crackers really add on the fat grams and calories so avoid these when possible. Watch your consumption of mayonnaise based salads, stick with oil based pasta salads, jello, and fruits. Our cottage cheese is now 2% low fat and our yogurt is Lite 85.
