15. Salad dressing

There’s nothing wrong with a light balsamic vinaigrette, but you could be undoing all the positive effects of eating your greens by dumping certain kinds of store-bought salad dressing all over it.

Harvard Health Publishing says bottled dressings are often rich in saturated fat, calories, sodium and added sugar. Think Thousand Island, Three Cheese or Buffalo Ranch.

Caesar salads are considered pretty unhealthy as well, just because of the dressing. Kraft’s Classic Caesar Salad Dressing has soybean oil as well as romano and parmesan cheese. Just 2 tablespoons of the stuff is loaded with 12 grams of fat and 300 milligrams of sodium.
