Deli Salads: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Deli salads are ready-to-eat, pre-prepared dishes often found in the refrigerated section of grocery stores. This category includes a wide variety, from vegetable-based mixes like "Slammin' Good Greens!" to protein-rich options such as Chick Pea Salad, and international-inspired choices like Artichoke Antipasto Salad. They can be convenient meal components or side dishes. When choosing deli salads, reviewing the Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list is helpful. Pay attention to sodium content; the FDA Daily Value is 2,300 milligrams per day. Some deli salads, especially those with creamy dressings, may contain saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake under 10% of daily calories. Also, check for added sugars, as some dressings or ingredients can contribute to these. The Dietary Guidelines suggest limiting added sugars to at most 10 grams per meal. Look for salads with whole vegetables, legumes, and lean proteins listed early in the ingredients for more fiber and nutrients. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
