Phatmomma

I'm wanting to do 10 days of 10 salads. I need unique ideas to cover the 3 daily meals. Don't worry, I will be getting protein as I can sub vegetarian veggie meats for real meat ingredients.
I'd like to do fruit salads, egg salads, cobb salads, etc. But 3 salads a day,
My list so far
1. Cobb Salad
2. Egg Salad
3. Fried Chix Salad
4. Fresh Fruit Salad
5. Mixed Green Salad

any other ideas?

No tuna but I can use a tuna substitute so all meat recipes and suggestions welcome. There is alike a vegetarian version of every meat and fish

TamTastic

Potato Salad (can be done a healthy way)

Waldorf kind of salad (do it with greens, sliced pear or apple, cranberries, walnuts and a little gorgonzola or feta, maybe even add some grilled chicken on top)

I love Asian salad with mandarin oranges, chow mein, edamame and a ginger dressing.

KrisKabob

What about:

mixed greens
chicken substitute
sliced almonds
mandarin orange slices
topped with Light Asian Toasted Sesame dressing (yummuy)

That reminds me of the asian salad you can get from Wendy's

Kalamta are the big olives and most likely have a pit in the middle.

Why does the chicken need to be fried? you cut over 75% of the calories if you just grill or bake it instead.
Spinich salad.
Fruit salad
egg white salad for high protine and 1/3rd the fat. Use low fat yogurt instead of Mayo for the extra kick.

That sounds great-the Mexican salad and all the others. I still need a few more. I'm going to go shopping tomorrow. Any ideas for fruit salads or something to do for breakfast? is there even a breakfast salad lol? Or is fruit salad a breakfast salad? I can repeat some salads just going to do 3 a day. I might have to put in some omelets for the breakfast portion though.

We love to take Pineapple, Apple, Cantalope, Strawberries and grapes and then toss them together in some lime juice

2 cups lettuce
1 tomato
6 small vegetable samosa, cut into bite sizes.
1/2 cup of cottage cheese

just mix this all together, the cottage cheese acts as a dressing. very filling and very tasty. I would eat it any time of day.

Lindsey's Favorite Fruit Salad

Strawberry
Pineapple
Raspberry
And a hint of blueberries

Also bananas, but only freshly sliced. If you make a big batch and put bananas in, they get all brown and mushy. :brokenheart:

oh, and here's another.

coleslaw! I take an entire bag of coleslaw mix (cabbage, carrot, red cabbage) and mix a lot less dressing in it than you would think. (one time I only used 1/4 cup) However, a few hours later, that dressing has sunk into the cabbage, and yum!!!

slywldgirl

I make a pasta salad that uses garlic herb fettuccine with fresh basil (julienned), diced roma tomatoes, shredded Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and a red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing drizzled over and tossed. Sometimes I use balsamic vinegar instead. Mhmm making me hungry now hehehe.

I've been doing that a lot lately! I get the broccoli slaw and mix in the Newmans Own Lighten Up Low Fat Sesame Ginger dressing. SO good!

You can pan fry it without adding fat or calories. Just a shot of Pam or your favorite spray to keep it from sticking and add seasonings.

I don't actually fry mine. The chix patties we buy boca or morning star are breaded. I just bake everything. We just call it fried lol.

Oh these sound so GREAT! I knew you all would have some awesome ideas. I'm going to print these and map out my grocery list for the week. I think these will be so work friendly and school friendly-I can pack them in the kid's lunch cases too. I wanted something that would be healthy and easy. I'm in the middle of a liver cleanse (don't ask lol) and you can eat but you need to stick to healthier choices so I thought I'd do filling and nutritional salads and still keep it fun for the kids too. Plus they love trying new things and this works out well, not to much oven time-gotta love that! Thanks All:bigsmile:

Wow, no one has mentioned three bean salad! Or four bean. You can google a billion recipe versions of bean salads. Also, you can do a brown rice or quinoa or other grain salad, with fresh chopped vegies and vinaigrette.

yoginimary

Variations on a theme. This one I eat almost everyday:
greens, cranberries, feta - throw a few walnuts in if you have available calories

greens, blue cheese, pears, celery, few slices of onion maybe, few slices of fresh beet for color

greens, gorgonzola, tart apple, pecans

The trick is using cheeses that are strong enough that a little goes a long way. I don't like dressing, so basically the cheese takes the place of the dressing - but a vinaigrette would work on any. Just mix greens, fruit, cheese and maybe onion, celery, or beets.

Here's another one. . .sounds weird, tastes good.

One red apple (crisp type)
two tablespoons raisins
one avocado
1 tsp honey (or to taste)

Chop apple and avocado, add raisins and honey, stir and enjoy.

Because I love the sweet/spicy, I add a little sprinkle of cajun seasoning to this.
