Any salad suggestions?

Faintgreeneyes

My salad consists of

Iceberg lettuce
Cucumbers
Carrots
Black Beans
Corn
Lite Italian Dressing
Hard Boiled Egg (cut up)

The black beans make it heartier so I feel fuller then with just the lettuce and other veggies.

I have a hard time with some of the lettuce mixes, too.....so I like plain old iceberg lettuce (not chopped up already), spinach leaves, sometimes the broccoli slaw or sprouts, roma tomato, raw cauliflower (one of my favorite things to eat on salad).

I also like crunch, and have found the tortilla strips or any lower fat/lower calorie crunchy to be a nice topping. I used to LOVE adding those sesame sticks, but they are loaded with fat and calories

For a bit a protein - a hard-boiled egg or low-fat ham chunks, maybe a cut-up piece of chicken breast. I don't like Tuna on my salads.............

I insist on having dressing on my salad, and like a combo of fat-free french and light blue cheese. Mmmmmmmmm.

Kraft Salad Expressions are wonderful.

also roasted pears, reduced balsamic vinagrette, arugula and spiced pecans are good, pairs well with goat cheese

spinach pairs well with strawberries

arugula is spicy so you can pair that with something sweet like peaches , pears, strawberries....

simple vinagretes are good and healthier, applie cider is SOOO GOOD for you in dresssing, Mrs. Bragg's apple cider vinagrette is AMAZING..i would always get spinach, greens, shredded beets, carrots, red onion, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes with the dressing...SOOO GOOD..

We like to add some of the following at times to spice up our salads:

Red/Yellow/Orange Peppers
Peppadeux peppers (these are sweet and hot and yummy)
Montchevre Goat Cheese (I especially like the one with basil and onion)
cucumbers
sundried tomatoes (not in oil)
mushrooms

We also like to get the salad mixes that are baby mix as they are more tender and tasty. I like one that is a baby herb spring mix, my husband does not.

Good luck!

I'm a vegetarian, so salads are a staple for me, I love rasberry vinaigrette over spinach and strawberries, so simple, so good throw some mandarin oranges in there too. I alos buy salad confetti at walmart, it's cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and radishes choped up into little pieces, gives a salad more crunch and it's delish. Pinto beans or black beans with change your salad drastically into a completely different meal. We make a pot of beans at least once a week and I just freeze small portions and take them out when I might want one later in the day.

My favorite right now is:

lettuce
dried cranberries
sunflower seeds
red onion
tomatos
chicken (fried) with kraft expression on it (cant think of the name as of rigth now, but it goes with the dressing)
cheese stick cut up
and the thai vinaigrette.
