BEST Salad Recipes ever!!

AllegraWilliams

OK, So I am looking for your FAVORITE salad recipes ever!

If you happen to have the basic nutritional info (cals, carbs, protein) that would be cool, but MFP has this cool recipe maker section that I am absolutely loving so it's no biggie.

Thanks!!

Cbeth's Chicken Salad
4-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 celery stalks finely chopped
2 boiled eggs
Lite Mayo made with olive oil
garlic powder
1/2 yellow onion chopped
salt
pepper
3 tbsp relish
boil chicken breast in water with salt and pepper for about 40min.
Finely chop up onions, eggs and celery
add in remaining ingredients (relish, salt, pepper, garlic salt to taste)
(I do not measure my mayo, I just add enough so it is not dry )
shred chicken and add to other ingredients and mix well
Yum!

I don't know the calorie count but
Spinach
blue cheese
cranberries and balsamic vinegar with a little seasoning salt.

I could eat that all day

.

I do my own version of the Luau salad from Cheesecake factory

romaine lettuce with mixed babygreens
super thinly slice (w/food processor)
cucumber and red bell pepper
Blanched green beans
green onions
chopped macadamia nuts (a little goes a long way)
diced mango (again a little goes a long way)
shredded grilled chicken

Toss in ginger wonton strips if you do white carbs (I set these aside for everyone else)
Newmans light ginger sesame dressing is good with this or a light champagne vinaigrette. Any family gathering I go to I make a HUGE bowl of this so I know I will have satisfying food that I can eat that looks pretty as well. It feels more like a treat instead of deprivation.

Another quick easy
Spinach, apple, Feta, walnuts and shrimp with light balsamic vinagrette

Sometimes the best salads come from just mixing everything you have all together.

This is my fav salad

Lettuce
Baby Spinach
Almonds
Croutons
Shredded tandoori chicken
Part skim mozzarella cheese
Cheddar mashed potatos
Elbow Macaroni

Use ranch as dressing

And pasta and potato salads are always good
