Making On-The-Go Days Salad Days

(NAPSI)-If you've been tossing around ways to eat more salad, it might be time to think outside the bowl.

Even when you're on the go, you can eat a salad every day. Just take favorite salad ingredients-from fresh veggies and dressing, to signature salads like chicken Caesar-and simply wrap them in low-calorie tortillas. You can take them to work, on a picnic, to a ball game or wherever else you're headed.

You might boost the salad-wrap's nutritional content by opting for dressing made with canola oil. Litehouse Foods, which makes dressings, dips and more, uses the oil exclusively in its salad dressings because it has no trans fat and is recommended by the American Heart Association as part of a heart-healthy diet.

Visit www.30salads30days.com, a Web site from Litehouse Foods, for a selection of dressings and for a new salad recipe for each day of the month, including this one for Ham and Pineapple Slaw Wraps:

The Hero Gets A Makeover

(NAPSI)-For years, hungry adults and children alike have turned to the always-satisfying "hero" sandwich to quench their yearnings. But every now and then, even this beloved favorite could benefit from a face-lift. While the main ingredients of the sandwich may stay relatively the same, getting creative with condiments can help return the hero to super status.

For a break from standard sandwich fare, try an Apricot-Dijon Ham Griller, featuring the SAVORY HONEY variety from GREY POUPON. The subtle notes of honey accent the ham's flavor, while hints of coriander, paprika and turmeric provide a surprisingly savory element, which complements the fresh, fruity flavors of pear slices and apricot preserves.
