Lately i've stopped my fat *kitten* from eating hot pockets and other garbage for lunch and to be honest i'm loving this whole salad thing.

but like all things, it's getting boring since I have the same kind of salad every day.

- Spinach Leaves
- Diced Tomato
- 1 Oz Ham (diced)
- 1/8 Cup Shredded Cheese
- Chipotle Tabasco for the dressing because ranch and all other dressings to me are either nasty or loaded with **** I dont wanna eat lol

What do you put on salad what will keep my calories low but burst with flavor.

Stop trolling bro, you know salads aren't healthy...

Ok, seriously though...

Sauteed Mushrooms (1 tablespoon of olive oil/good fat, little bit of garlic in the pan)
LOW FAT cheese (if I use cheese at all)
Bacon (Turkey kind usually)
There is a sugar free raspberry vinaigrett that I use
Chicken Breasts
Any good protein (turkey, pork)
Chopped hard boiled eggs
wasabi peas
almonds

Hopefully those give you some ideas.

I often use spinach and throw a hot or a cold vegetable on it, like spaghetti squash, cooked carrots or portabella mushroomsfor example. Add to that 2 Tbs of goat cheese or hommus and it is delicious (and filling) It's nice to have wilted spinach and something warmer as winter approaches too. I also put ground pepper on it to spice it up a little.

I like flavoured tunas! I have found a spicy tuna - they come in little tins - they are full of protein and low in calories - awesome on a salad. I usually throw some pumpkin seeds on as well.

I use salsa as a dressing. Throw in some grilled chicken, black beans, diced red bell peppers, and some banana peppers and you have yourself a yummy pseudo-taco salad!

This one is a winner, i'm def trying it.

I always have cucumber, onion and radishes in my salad.

I like to put a bit of cottage cheese on top of my salad, too. Tasty as a dressing.

Some nuts can add flavor and crunch.

You can really put anything on a salad you want!!!

Sprouts
Madarin Oranges (drain the syrup!)
Strawberries
Chopped onion (adds lots of flavor)
Carrots
Bell Peppers
Apples


If you dream it, you can put it on a salad!!!!

I love to add all kinds of difrent things depending on my mood... frozen peas, sunflower seeds, crushed red pepper, boiled egg whites, apples, rasins, pecans, tortilla strips, a few olives (rinsed), jalepenos diced. I love salads bc you can add anything you want!!!!

Try pickled jalapenos, a bit of cheddar cheese, some blackened chicken, avocado, and some dried cranberries. Totally doesn't need dressing. Mmmmm.

You can use lemon juice on everything to give it taste (if you like the taste of lemon), I add it to my salads. The amount of calories in lemon juice is negligible and it goes well with fish (tuna, salmon).

Good call. blackened chicken is one of my favorites

If you have a trader joe's near you , they have the best salad dressings in the refridgerated section! I am very picky about my dressings..don't really like ranch, hate italian/vinigarettes...but I love TJ's Cran.walnut gorgonzola, and Cilantro dressing! They have little chunks of cheese

I like a crunch in my salad, so I usually throw in some baby carrots. Kraft makes a Greek dressing with olive oil that is tasty, and only around 60 cal. for a serving.

Another thing I toss on my salad for a bit of crunch is 1/4 cup of chow mein noodles. They're tasty, not loaded with fat or salt, and give a little extra texture to my usual salad + chicken lunch.

Some tasty options my husband and I like are:

Red/yellow/orange bell peppers
Peppadeux peppers-these are sweet and spicy and add a lot of flavor to a salad
olives-black/green/kalamata
goat cheese-my preferred is Montchevre - Crumbled Goat Cheese Onion & Basil only 35 calories for 14 grams
feta cheese
sun dried tomatoes (not in oil)

Good luck!

Lemon and lime juice works great for a dressing.

I love whole foods salad bar....

I usually alternate between red lettuce, spinach, kale, and muslin mix or combine
adds vary: hard boiled egg, peppers, broccoli, grilled chicken, tomato, feta, avocado, olives, raisins, tuna....

Their low fat fig tahini dressing is delicious, even makes raw broccoli edible!
