Nutrient-dense green salads are filled with dark leafy greens, cherry
tomatoes, bell peppers and thin slices of crisp cucumbers. Rather than
selecting iceberg lettuce, try spinach and kale. These are top choices
because they are loaded with vitamin K and calcium. Iceberg lettuce has
only small amounts of trace vitamins and minerals.
