What do you put on your salad?

Jbauer41

Fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
Fat-free garlic croutons
Sliced cooked egg
cherry tomatoes
Toasted flax seed
Kraft Raspberry Vinigarette Dressing.

Nummy -- too bad it's too late to eat one. Sounds good about now.

I take a salad every day for lunch. Today I added tomatoes, carrots, blue cheese, and chicken. I use the newman's own lighten up honey mustard dressing.

I put tomatoes, cucumber, onions (sometimes), canadian bacon (sometimes), fat free cheddar shredded cheese and fat free thousand island dressing.

I stuff as much lettuce in a tuperware that I can, then I add in 2tbs of fat free chunky blue cheese, or 2tbs low-fat buttermilk ranch, and 1/3rd cup shredded cheddar cheese. Slap the lid on, and shake like a fool until everything is coated and yummy.

When my grandma's grape tomatoes come into season, I will add those!

depends on what I feel like. Usually it is a mixed 50/50 (spring mix and spinach) then I add Fat free feta and spray with the wishbone Italian spray. I will add things from there...cucumbers, tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts, carrots or anything else I feel like that day.

Tonite for supper I had a 4oz chicken breast cut up on 2 cups of romaine...topped with feta cheese and Newman's Own Raspberry Walnut viniagrette...very tasty...this is also good with craisins on top!!

im experimenting with using non fat yogurt as a base for dressings.
normally i use some low fat dressings but i have to watch my salt intake. so making my own will be my new thing.

mixed greens, red onion, grilled leftover chicken from last nights dinner (or a tuna packet) something crunchy (carrots, bell peppers, or celery if I'm out of everything else!) garbanzo beans, sometimes cuke or tomato, either Newman's Own light balsamic vinegrette, light italian, or Ken's light vidalia onion. I use 1 or 2 tbsp. of dressing and then about 2 tbsp of squeezed fresh lemon mixed in to make it go farther with less calories. Also do a really nice taco salad - mixed greens, taco-seasoned turkey meat (or lean beef) cilantro, black beans, corn, avocado and dressed with red salsa and fresh squeezed lime juice. ok got to stop now - just had dinner and this is making me hungry!

As many fresh veggies as I can! Broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, tomato, bell pepper, cucumber, mushroom, etc. Sometimes slices of fresh strawberry or dried cranberry.
Sometimes I like a bit of shredded cheese and some cut up deli meat, but not always. And bleu cheese dressing (and I will measure out the 2T serving size to not get too much, but I like the real stuff, not lite or low fat or anything).

Bell peppers
cherry tomatoes
hummus
carrots
cucumber
broccoli
sometimes vinegar
all on a spring mix or big bed of spinach

No dressing, croutons, or cheese. 100% deliciousness without the junk. Hummus is the secret.

tomato,cucumber, onion, parsley, mint, evoo, lemon juice, salt, fine/medium grain bulgur wheat.... mmmm I love me some tabouleh.

jennylynn84

greens, cherry tomatoes, purple onion, mushrooms, cucumbers, black olives and either:

1. About two ounces of albacore tuna and a low sodium creamy cucumber dressing

or

2. a cut up black bean morningstar patty, some mexican corn and salsa

If I do a store salad bar, these change, but this is the standard fare I have at home.

I usually add carrots, balsamic and if I feel like switching it up, I throw sliced strawberries or chick peas on top. Strawberries w/ balsamic are yummy! Sometimes I will also take cold cooked vegetable leftovers (like squash and onion) and put it on top for a little different flavor.

Chickpeas (garbanza beans) are also super good on a salad....gives it a meaty taste....add a plain can of tuna, some olives, yum!

I love salads and my favorite trick is to put a couple of TBS of dressing in a small cup and dip my fork in it before I stick it in my salad. You get plently of dressing taste since the fork is the last thing to cross your lips. I don't care for fat free dressings so I can use any dressing I like and only use about 1 TBS. Try this a couple of times and you'll never pour dressing on your salad again!

all that stuff is great. I like to add a sweet kick and do either raisins, dried cranberries or apples plus some spiced pecans. I love sunflower seeds too. I often crush a couple of whole croutons to much smaller pieces so I can really enjoy them through out the salad. Usually just 2-3 will do the trick.

I also like to do mexican salads with a mix of salsa and nonfat yogurt for dressing - I usually add black beans and corn.

I found that when using the low fat dressings they just don't coat the lettuce so I've been adding a tablespoon or two of plain non-fat greek yogurt to the Newman's Own Balsamic and sometimes either brown deli mustard or honey mustard and mixing that before adding it to the salad. It really gives it some extra staying power and it doesn't just all end up sloshing around the bottom of the salad bowl.

I knew there had to be a better way of making a salad then just romaine, low fat dressing, and cheese! Thank You Everyone!

I love a spinach salad with fresh roasted beets and goat cheese. I don't care for dressings much, so a touch of balsamic vinegar is what I use.

MrsChasteen

My salads are usually not very exciting. If I have them i enjoy onions, black olives, garbanzo beans, nuts, sprouts, shredded carrot or whatever I can find. I usually only use about 1/2 to 1 TBLS dressing to my salad. I also enjoy light feta crumbles and grated Parmesan cheese (the powdered kind is 20 calories a TBLS). I used to only like salads as an appetizer or side, but I have been craving them more and more.

kateopotato

I like mixed greens with 1/8-1/4 of a avocado cubed, toasted pine nuts, dried cranberries, balsamic dressing and sometimes I throw on some Parmesan cheese. I'm drooling just thinking about it!
