Re: Salads

You also don't need to include lettuce for it to be a salad. A summer one I love is tomato, cucumber, low-fat feta, red onion, chickpeas or black beans, 1/4 avocado, and corn. Then I add balsamic vinegar and olive oil and mix.....mmmm. I try to make it all organic if possible. You can also add some herbs!

Re: Salads

I like tomato, red onion, mint and lemon as a salad.

Also love spinach, mandarin oranges, red onion, hard boiled egg and sesame dressing.

Re: Salads

arugala or spinach
dried cranberries or fresh apple chunks
walnuts
goat cheese
balasmic vinaigrette

Re: Salads

I made a spinach salad today with bacon peaces, egg, mushrooms, snow pea pods, peppers, and celery. Topped with a little oil and vinegar.

ETA: I'm on south beach so I can have a little more fat than ww people.

Re: Salads

I like Kidney Beans and sprouts also.

Re: Salads

I love things that give it good flavor, like a red onion, or some beans (garbonzo or canellini). Some feta cheese. And I usually find it more filled to add either grilled chicken or shrimp to it.

Re: Salads

Thanks for the suggestions. I have to try some of these. I am also at a loss on what to put in.

Re: Salads

thanks. i've been think the same thing of what to put in the salads

Re: Salads

My favorite salad always consists of red leaf lettuce (or romaine), red onions and red cabbage. I sometimes make my own dressing (olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt and pepper) or I use 2 Tbsp of Marie's Lite Bleu Cheese Dressing

If I am making it a meal (which is rare) I bulk it up with cheese, grilled chicken or chicken cutlets.

I also love sunflower seeds on my salads
