Get a day's worth of veggies in a single meal

How many servings of vegetables do you eat in a day? For most people it is way less than the suggested five-to-10 servings a day that are necessary for a healthy and balanced diet. Even five servings, which is the bare minimum as far as roughage goes, can be tough to achieve.

But as leafy greens, crunchy carrots and other tasty veggies can be helpful with very important things like lowering your risk of various cancers as well as heart disease, needless to say, it's important to try to get in those 10 servings. If you're having trouble finding ways to incorporate the necessary amount of vegetables into your diet, try one of these five delicious-looking salad recipes.

According to the article, each boasts at least half of the required daily veggie intake and if you also prepare the accompanying side dish, you'll have the maximum amount of servings munched up in a single meal.
