Re: Healthy lunch suggestions other than salads!!
I like to use flatout wraps. They have light ones that are only 1pt. I use laughing cow light cheese for 1 pt instead of mayo or dressing and usually have turkey or low salt ham or grilled veggies.
I've also made a whole wheat orzo pasta salad with grilled and fresh veggies. it's 4pts for a cup.
healthy choice soup (already in it's own microwaveable cup) is 4 pt for the whole thing and I think progresso has a 1pt soup. I like to pair this with Stacey's pita chips.

Re: Healthy lunch suggestions other than salads!!
Turkey on Rye or whole wheat
How about eggs? Or Egg salad?
Peanut Butter and Jelly (Preserves) are pretty good too.
Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich is good too. 
There is also Tuna if you like tuna.

Re: Healthy lunch suggestions other than salads!!
I was in a salad rut for a while too.
Now, I make wraps...I put either cold cuts, tuna salad, light egg salad (egg whites only) or grilled veggies.

Re: Healthy lunch suggestions other than salads!!
I am so tired of salads too!
If I go out I like the pick two at panera. I get the black bean soup and 1/2 a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with mustard. They have all nutritional info on their webpage.
If you have a toaster oven I like pita pizzas. A whole wheat pita topped with salsa and low fat mozzarella cheese.
Peanut butter and banana on toasted whole wheat.
Sometimes I will have cereal. Cream of wheat or porridge with some applesauce. I make it with the skim plus milk.
