I need some good Salad ideas (Prefferably with instructions) for late night cravings.

Salads are pretty much my main source of daily greens and I would love to experiment with various recipes, would appreciate if you can share some of your personal favorites with me!

    Craisins, walnut bits, blue cheese crumbles, apples and strawberries if you like. and basaltic vinaigrette. With those little heads of lettuce that come in the four pack. They look like baby red leaf, green leaf..

    Romain with salmon, cucumbers, avocado, chickpeas and caesar, or ranch

    Spinach or Romain with red onions, tomato, thin slicked left over steak and sliced little potatoes (steak and potatoes warmed). With ceasar, sweet onion, or honey mustard.

    Romain, blue cheese dressing or sweet onion, snap peas, red onion, avocado, and radishes.

    I like the Pyrex six cup rectangle containers for prepping salads.

    Right now I'm loving apples, pears, romaine, red onions, and cashews in a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette.

    Chopped red bell peppers, cucumbers, mushrooms, chickpeas, and spinach with an egg free thousand island.

    Taco salad is easy and delicious: romaine hearts, black beans, corn kernels, green bell peppers, jicama, olives, red and green onions, avocado, and salsa with your choice of sour cream or light ranch.

    Roasted beets and oranges, sliced and dressed in orange juice and olive oil.

    And then, of course, there's this:

    Do you actually crave salad at night, or are you just looking for something to eat when you get a non-specific late-night craving? I'd rather go to bed unfulfilled than eat a salad when I have the munchies, but that's just me :lol:

    I buy pre-washed mixed greens for easy-to-grab salad and add whatever strikes my fancy for meals. Late night craving almost always end in chocolate, though (within my calorie goal, of course!)

    This was an amazing salad! https://cookieandkate.com/2017/mexican-green-salad-recipe/

    Only thing I did differently was add half an avocado to the dressing and not the tahini.

    All of these sound so delicious!
