Importance of Salads
In Dietetic Value

Salad has an important place in the
diet, says Miss Helen Green, instructor
in domestic science in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
While salad Is not as substantial a
dish as some included in the daily
menH, there are other things to be con-
sidered. Salad set in a nest of lettuce
leaves is appetizing. The dietetic value
of the minerals in the fruit and vege-
tables and the oil in the dressing can
not be overestimated.
Some vegetables and fruits which
are quite necessary to the diet would
not be utilized at all if they were not
made into salads. Carrots. for exam
pie, prepared in salads In their raw
state furnish valuable food elements.
Salads furnish bulk. an importantiitem
to be considered in preparing menus.
A simple salad is more attractive and
has q better dietetic value than an
elaborate mixture Of expensive foods.
A light salad may be served with a
heavy dinner as asubstitute for des-
sert, adding to the dietetic value of the
meal as we'll as reducing its cost.
