SWAP ScoreChoose Often
Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) is a stoplight nutrition ranking system designed to help promote healthy food choices. SWAP ranks food as either green (choose often, supports health), yellow (choose sometimes, can contribute to good health), or red (choose rarely, limited health benefits). These rankings are based on the amount of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in one serving of the recipe. These nutrients were chosen because they are most associated with chronic disease risk.
Ingredients

- 1/4 cup celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup red pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon pimentos, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
Directions
- Add vegetables, celery, pepper, pimento and onion to a large bowl. Add dressing and stir to combine.

Recipe Tips
Canned vegetables make for a quick and easy dish. Rinsing the vegetables will help to remove some extra sodium.
