May is National Salad Month, and roughly 20% of individuals consume a salad on any given day, per the National Library of Medicine at the NIH.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BrightFarms, an indoor farming company, decided to ask Americans about their favorite types of salads <\/a>to note the occasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company asked 2,000 U.S. adults and shared with SWNS some interesting statistics about the mostly-healthy green meal<\/a> option.<\/p>\n

6 WAYS TO TAKE YOUR SALAD FROM BORING TO BOUNTIFUL: HEALTHY FATS AND SMART PREP ARE JUST SOME OF THE SECRETS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The company, headquartered in Irvington, New York,<\/a> found that many people are more likely to select their salad based on the dressing option (56%) \u2014 followed by the quality of lettuce (42%).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The survey found that the most popular salad dressing was ranch dressing (50%), followed by Italian (30%) and Caesar (25%).<\/p>\n

The survey also found that people prefer romaine lettuce (46%) over iceberg (44%) and spinach (32%).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of the most popular salad toppings mentioned were cheese (42%), tomatoes (37%) and bacon (30%) \u2014 while croutons were selected by 28% of those surveyed, SWNS reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few interesting toppings were found in the survey as well.<\/p>\n

Some\u00a0people actually like to add bananas, peanut butter<\/a>, peppermint and even popcorn to their leafy green meals.<\/p>\n

Those who eat salads were asked to rank how important the freshness of a salad was \u2014 with 57% of them saying it was the “biggest factor.”<\/p>\n

The company said 78% of the respondents ate at least two salads a week, and the average person is thought to eat leftover salad for up to two days after creation, SWNS noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t just cover eating at home, however \u2014 as 46% said they were actually more likely to eat a salad while dining out than making it at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thirty-four percent of participants also believe salads taste better when someone else prepares them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Registered dietitian Sarah Heckler of Raleigh, North Carolina, told Fox News Digital that adding avocado slices<\/a>, nuts, seeds and olive oil to a salad can not only spruce up a leafy green salad, but can also help the body to absorb fat-soluble nutrients.<\/p>\n

“Healthy fats also contribute to a feeling of fullness,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She suggested making homemade dressings to mix things up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Create a zesty vinaigrette with olive oil<\/a>, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and a hint of honey,” she said. “And fresh herbs, garlic or citrus zest can add an extra kick.”<\/p>\n

Adding protein to any salad can be great for “both flavor and a sense of fullness,” she also said.<\/p>\n

She recommended lean proteins such as grilled chicken, chickpeas, salmon, tuna and hard-boiled eggs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adding a theme to your salad might also make it more exciting, according to the registered dietician.<\/p>\n

“One night may be a southwestern theme, with your salad including BBQ chicken, corn, cilantro, black beans and ranch dressing \u2014 and another day may be\u00a0a Mediterranean theme\u00a0with a salad that includes grilled chicken, artichoke hearts, olives, feta cheese, garbanzo beans and a Greek-style vinaigrette,” she told Fox News Digital.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

She continued, “It will help get you out of a boring salad rut, and you may find yourself actually looking forward to a filling, flavorful and healthy lettuce-based meal.”<\/p>\n
