Update: Salad-making class coming to OSU extension

Salads are a great way to incorporate vegetables and fruits into any diet.
When a salad is made with lots of fruits and vegetables, it can be loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, said Janice Hermann, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist.
“You can be creative when incorporating a salad into your eating plan,” Hermann said. “Expand from the normal garden salad by adding fruits, nuts and lean meats to make a low-calorie, highly nutritious meal.”
The OSU Extension Service will be holding a “Sensational Summer Salads” cooking school Thursday, June 11 to help local residents. The school will be offered at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. that day to meet busy schedules. Space is limited and a $6 pre-registration fee is required by noon on June 10 for attendance. 
Stop by the OSU Extension office, 14001 Acme Road in Shawnee, or call 273-7683 for more information.
