Summer is just right around the corner so if you want that bikini bod it’s essential to keep a balanced and healthy diet. To help out, grab a salad and stick your fork in to some fresh greens for guiltless nourishment. That doesn’t mean you have to settle for a boring lettuce experience either.

Washington D.C. has become a haven for eateries offering new and adventurous takes on the traditional salad. You know them when you see them. They’re bold, colorful and enticing. Plus, they’re sure to help you maintain that girlish figure.
