National Salad Month is a month-long event held every May to celebrate creative salad recipe ideas and to encourage consumers to eat more leafy greens. The NSM event was created in May 1992 in response to a Gallup Poll that revealed three out of four people eat a tossed salad at least every other day. A research study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that salad eaters tend to have higher intakes of key nutrients, including vitamins C, E and folate.
