    LOL! Tossed and in a bowl! Here is my favorite to serve tossed in a bowl:
    spring mix 3 cups
    semi soft goats chesse I use 1TBS
    slivered almonds 1/4cup
    roasted red peppers
    salad dressing like zesty italian calorie wise or better yet homemade salad dressing due the amount of sodium in store bought

    Iceberg lettuce, spinach or romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, 1/8 blue cheese, 1/8 cup dried cranberries, fat free salad dressing (max of 2 TBSN), avocado slice, 1 oz max of turkey or chicken.

    That is my usual. I do shake it up with different types of cheese and other fruits. I can make a decent size yummy salad for under 250 calories and it fills me up.

    I will be trying some suggestions in this post.

    I just do romaine, spinach if I have any, grape tomatoes halved, green pepper, cucumber, carrots, usually a few dried cranberries and some almonds or cashews depending on how many calories I need. To beef it up I may add a hard boiled egg, chickpeas, or black beans. I add pepper, sometimes Mrs. Dash or perfect pinch Cajun spice. Then toss with whatever dressing I'm in the mood for. I really do like my salad tossed....it makes the dressing go a lot farther... Some people suggest dunking each bite but that seems like it would require way more dressing.
