Can you help me avoid SBS (Salad Boredom Syndrome)?

my cousin made me a dressing using olive oil and white balsamic vinegar. I use it all the time now. Sometimes I just add a little bit of cherry balsamic vinegar to it and it gives it a little kick. So easy. Good luck to you!

I've fallen in love with the cobb salad

Here's a quick and easy one that I got out of the 400 calorie fix cookbook.
1 1/2 cups Dole Asian Island Crunch Salad Kit (130 calories)
3 oz Light Tuna, packed in water (90 calories)
2 Tbsp Newman's Own Low Fat Family Recipe Italian Dressing (60 calories) (I couldn't find this kind at my grocery so I use Ken's Steak House Lite Northern Italian with Basil & Romano. It has 50 calories in 2 Tbsp)

The salad kit has almond slices, chow main noodles and dried pineapple to mix in with the salad and the pineapple really goes well with the tuna! Of course their ginger dressing that they pack with it goes to waste, but it's well worth it!

Great ideas. I like to sneak some fruit into my salad. Why not pieces of an orange? Or a chopped up apple?

Balsamic vinegar is yummy on salad..just use a lil tho..also in aus we have flavoured tuna..the best one i love is indian tandori tuna...is awsome..im not a fan of iceburg lettuce.. i love oak leaf..which has a ton of flavour..grated carrot..tomato..yummm

another salad i make is a light version of cesear salad...lettuce..light ham chopped..carrot..every salald i have MUST have carrot..dont ask me why..just has to have it..i also get there called PANE TOSCANO traditional pizza bruschettina..there individual half kind of long rolls which have been toasted..i pop it into the toaster to cook and break that up into it..then sprinkle a little grated parmansan cheese..you can get it fresh already grated..then no fat cesear salad dressing lighly drizzled over..yummmmmmmmm

Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressings - my favorite. Creamy & low calorie.

Gotta add some snap and flavor to the salad.

I like fresh green pepper, cucumber and for the flavor part I gotta have Calamata olives and sunflower kernels. A little light ranch and it is perfect.

And if you have some leftover protein, like chicken breast, heat is and top it. Yummm

LOL...SBS....that is great! FANTASTIC TOPIC!!

I LOVE salad...I love creating salads..I Love trying different dressings, different ingredients...Often times, my salads turn out to be a lot of vegetables with some lettuce...But you can add SOOOOO much to a salad and keep it healthy!

My newest favorite topping is CORN...Frozen corn that is steamed slightly (not to the point of softness...it still has a little crunch)

Please feel free to look in my diary for any suggestions...I eat salad often, and I log each ingredient individually...
