3rd night in a row. It's bomb.

80g roasted butternut pumpkin
60g cooked chicken breast
15g sliced red onion
20g rocket leaves
25g baby spinach
25g danish feta (Danish feta is much creamier than Greek feta and tends to dissolve a bit and create a creamy type dressing - but you could use either)
1 tbsp Newmans - Roasted Garlic Balsamic Vinaigrette (Or any balsamic type dressing you have access to).
1 egg, boiled and diced

Do you cut up the roasted pumpkin into chunks? Sounds extremely good...0 -

I don't do salad "recipes" -- pretty much every salad I eat is different.
But I had a tasty one yesterday: arugula (90 g), blackberries (96 g), kiwifruit (68 g), a mild cheese with walnuts (15 g), tarragon-infused olive oil (14 oz.), tarragon-infused vinegar (no I don't weigh, measure, or log my vinegar usually), salt, and pepper. Very yummy, and only 288 calories (you could obviously make it larger or add some lean protein and still come in under 500 cals, but I had a large lunch plus more calories snacking as my work "afternoon" went well into the evening, so I was mostly looking to get some fresh produce and hit my fiber goal)
Also, I recently invented the "breakfast salad for dinner": arugula (31 g -- so really just a small bed of greens, but you could do more) topped with half an avocado (53 g), 2 large eggs fried in vegetable oil (11 g), scrapple* (just under 4 oz. -- say 109 g), olive oil (5 g -- you don't need a lot with the yolk, the fat from the meat, and the avocado), juice of 1 lemon (that's something else I usually don't bother weighing or measuring, but I do log it), salt and pepper. It was delicious, but sadly my version was 635 calories -- to get it under 100 calories you'd have to cut back on the amount of meat and/or use a leaner breakfast meat (e.g., ham, Canadian bacon), or only have 1 egg and cut back the meat just a little.
*If you've never heard of it, scrapple is a breakfast meat mostly found in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. Recipes vary, but originally it was a way to make sure nothing went to waste when you butchered a pigIt's made from pork. They'd boil the scrap bits of meat and fat with the liver and heart (all ground or finely chopped) and corn meal and seasoning, let it cool into slabs roughly the consistency of pate. When it's cold, you can slice it and pan fry it, so it gets nice and crispy. If it's not available to you, or you'd just prefer something else, because you're a chicken who's afraid of organ meat who just doesn't know what you're missing , feel free to substitute ham, bacon, sausage, etc. 1 -

Thanks for the ideas! Alas, though scrapple is readily available and well known where I live, I must admit that I am most definitely a chicken that's afraid of organ meat. LOL! I'm thinking a few strips of pan-fried bacon will be a nice replacement.

Arugula, smoked salmon, beets, goat cheese (walnuts if you like).
Greek - lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, cucumber, grilled chicken, feta (don't like olives)
Steak - steak strips, blue cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers
Antipasto - lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, cucumber, chopped up slices of whatever lunch meat and cheese you like (I like ham and Swiss or ham and gouda, sometimes some salami)
Taco salad - ground meet with taco seasoning, sauteed peppers and onions, beans, bit of cheese, lettuce, avocado, pico de galo, sour cream if you want.
I always use red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper, for dressing (except for the taco salad, obviously).
I really don't care for fruit or nuts on my salad though.
But I got to try that cheeseburger salad.0 -

Yes, dice the pumpkin up small and toss it in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder and roast it in the oven (about half an hour seems to be enough). Allow to cool.1 -

My lunch salad today...baby greens, strawberries, candied walnuts, blue cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. 3 -
Shredded chicken, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum, danish fetta, avocado and pine nuts. The soft, crumbly danish fetta and avocado coat the salad so you don't need extra dressing.1

I love the combination of blue cheese, leftover steak, tomatoes and romaine.
or.. beets, blue cheese, asparagus, greens and balsamic dressing - I make my own.
or.. romaine, chicken, black beans, roasted corn, tomato, avocado, cilantro - you could add peppers, but I don't like them and tortilla strips which are delicious but I don't have them in the house.. use a lime vinaigrette - lime juice, olive oil, cumin.
I also like adding fresh herbs when I have them. Parsley is really good in almost any salad - adds a great flavor.
dang..I might have to make a salad today.1 -
