Hey everyone! I'm looking for good things to add to a lettuce based salad
I'm kinda bored with my current mixes.
Any advice gladly taken!

My family and I would have "salad night" where we went crazy with vegetables and mix-ins. Probably no lo-cal overall, but super delicious.

We often had:
Green and red pepper
Onions
Cucumber
Shredded carrots
Cherry tomatoes
Hardboiled eggs
Homemade 1000-island dressing
Fresh shredded parmesan
Fresh homemade croutons (basically, french bread with olive oil, baked in the oven until crisp)
Leaf lettuce and baby spinach

I grow my own sprouts (so easy) in my kitchen so I always add that. Lately I have loved putting in;

black beans
red beans
cold quinoa
avocado
colored peppers
chopped chicken breast
Jicama

Take any salad and put a poached egg on top, crumble over some bacon and black pudding. The first time my husband made me this I thought he'd gone mad, then I tried it..... OMGolly.

My current fab is romaine lettuce, yellow peppers and a diced apple with a pear balsamic vinegar dressing.

There is a fantastic book called "Salad Makes the Meal" by Wiley Mullins. It has recipes for 150 different salads. All of them are easy to assemble with easy to find ingredients. There are some really unusual combinations, and almost all of them are outstanding. All the recipes have the nutritional info included so you know what you're getting.

Guilt free Mexican salad. This actually comes out delicious from leftovers and is very easy. I use lettuce, a spoon of black beans, some chicken, avacado, corn tomatoes or whatever else you feel like. A spoon full of salsa as dressing.

favourite salad at the moment...... grilled chicken.pineapple salad from cracker barrel. A bed of crisp spring mix with iceberg and romaine lettuces topped with marinated grilled chicken tenderloins, chopped pecans, pineapple, fresh blackberries, grape tomatoes, and white Cheddar and Colby cheeses. It’s served creamy pineapple ranch dressing on the side. , YUM
