My home treadmill has a strategic location -- right smack dab in my kids' playroom so I can work out and watch my boys play at the same time. ER actress Linda Cardellini has a strategic spot for her exercise equipment too.

"I have an elliptical machine at my house that I placed between the kitchen and the couch," Cardellini tells Good Housekeeping in the June 2008 magazine. "So I can't sit there and eat bonbons on the couch -- I've got to get up and work out."

I'll admit, veggies aren't my favourite thing, and I'd always rather have the pizza than the salad when I'm ordering my meal at a restaurant. But I know they're necessary to a healthy diet so I'm always looking for yummy ways to get more produce in my diet.

One of my favourite bloggers, Linda aka Sundry, came up with this salad which she shared on her Sundry Buzz site. She aptly calls it the 'Spicy shrink-yer-butt Salad', since it is chalk-full of healthy stuff and free of all the high-calorie additives that can make some salads not so good for the waistline. And I had to share because it is delicious. And good for you. What more can you ask for?

What's your favourite salad recipe?
