Need Salad suggestions

Mefanie

I eat at least one salad a day for lunch. I am looking for salad suggestions because I am running out of ideas fast.

I really love this salad, and I've been eating it almost every day this week. I'm giving the recipe from Allrecipes.com, and I'm sure the dressing is delicious, but I just use a sugar-free, low fat vinegrette from the grocery store as this one seems to have A LOT of sugar in it. This recipe makes a ton of salad, so I keep the dressing and cashews separated from the rest and just take what I need for lunch. I didn't add the sunflower seeds, and today, I forgot the cashews at home and didn't miss them too much. Hope you like it! It has all kinds of yummy superfoods in it!

1/4 red onion, sliced thin

Hi (I am french so I like to apologize in advance if I misspell words

My favorites:

1) raw spinach, strawberries and basil (just like that or add half a teaspoon of canola oil) a hard boiled egg for protein with half a whole wheat bagel

2) fresh tomatoes, black olives, palm tree hearts (or artichokes) and celery (prepare a day before to get most of the flavour mixed together) just add a little lemon juice and olive oil before you eat it. Some chicken on the side for protein (or 30 gr of feta cheese)

This was a fantastic salad. I reduced the sugar in the dressing and it was fine. Thank you for the recipe!

I love raw spinach, too. Basil was a nice surprise and really added a nice touch. Going to try the second recipe this week. I thought it would be areal drag to replace my lunches with salads, but it really hasn't been. I just don't want to get bored. Thanks again!
