"Eating oil with vegetables increases the absorption of fat soluble vitamins A, E, D and K," Leslie said. That means if you have a salad with fat-free dressing and no fat in the meal, you're not able to absorb these nutrients as efficiently as when you eat them with oil. She recommends drizzling cold-pressed olive oil (the greenest and highest in antioxidants) for the most benefit on a salad.
