Tomato Asparagus Salad
Replenish your body with vitamin C, vitamin B and vitamin K in this refreshing side salad. Have it with lean chicken, beef or beans and you'll absorb more of the iron in these foods. You need enough iron to deliver oxygen to your muscles.

8 cups romaine lettuce, torn
1/3 cup low fat Italian salad dressing
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, shredded

Preparation (Serves 6)
