Yummy salad

SammyD

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone had some recipes for really delicious salads...I apologize if there is a post on this already somewhere, but I looked back over a few pages and didn't see one...really didn't want to hunt through hundreds of topics!!

Anyway, I feel I need a better way to eat vegetables and leafy greens, but regular salad is boring. So if anyone has come across some quick and delicious ways to jazz 'em up, please share!1

Thanks

My favorite salad:

3 cups of baby spinach
one cup of cherry tomatoes
2 oz of plain goat cheese
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

It's 346 calories, most or which come from the goat cheese and olive oil. The goat cheese has 10g of protein and both the olive oil and the goat cheese have good, healthy fats.

Generally, I think any salad that includes cheese and/or fruit is going to be delicious enough to make you actually WANT to eat it!

I add all sorts of things to my salad:

Corn
Sliced Strawberries
Sugar Free Pears
Sugar Free Manadrin Oranges
Beans (Black, Garbonzo, pink)
Gorgonzola
Goat Cheese
Dried Cranberries/cherries/blueberries
Walnuts
Pecans
Almonds
Sunflower Seeds
Taco Meat
Tuna
Turkey Bacon
Chopped Hard boiled Egg (whites usually)
Baby spinach instead of Lettuce ( I only eat Mesclun/Sweet Lettuce- No iceburg)
Grilled Chicken

I change it up all the time!

I try to add lots of protein in salads, and balance it with the cheese/nut fat.
