About This Quiz

Building a salad is no easy task, since there are a wide variety of ingredients to choose from. But perhaps this is where the fun lies, especially since you get to decide what kinds of textures, flavors and seasonings you want to indulge in!

So what does a salad have to do with your longevity? Well, let's just say that some ingredients, like sugary salad dressings, are more likely to subtract years from your life.

In other words, don't be scared to eat a salad for dinner!
