Roasted Carrot, Feta Cheese and Fresh Cilantro Salad - This salad is a great side dish with a mixture of flavors and colors. Carrots are orange because of a compound called antioxidants. Antioxidants are the compound in fruits and vegetables that make them colorful. Antioxidants also help protect your body from cancer. Feta cheese is commonly used in Greek dishes and adds a salty flavor to this salad. Cilantro is an herb that is usually used in salsas and guacamole and is common in Asian and Mexican dishes. Cilantro tastes fresh and exotic.

- Healthy Eating Tips
Frozen or fresh? Frozen fruits and vegetables are just as nutritious and tend to be cheaper than fresh, especially when buying out of season produce! Be sure to buy frozen fruits and vegetables without added sauces, sugar, and salt.
