    I've also done sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. It gives the salad a smoky flavor.

    And artichoke hearts... get a jar of those and use the juice as the dressing. (Why isn't there a yummy icon??) :)

    That sounds so tasty! I think it would be good with some nuts or beans like some of the others have suggested.

    One of my favorite salads has a mild goat cheese with walnuts, honey and vinagrette dressing.

    Garbanzo beans, sliced almonds (the ones you would get in the baking section) and sometimes I use lowfat cottage cheese as my dressing. I did just find a yogurt based dressing though yesterday. It was in with the chilled dressings and lettuce. http://bolthouse.com/

    Sounds delish! I love a mix of all kinds of lettuces, hard boiled eggs, green peppers, sunflower seeds (roasted no salt added), pumpkin seeds (super yum!!!) and if I'm feeling wild I'll go for the imitation crab meat instead of chicken. I only use a little since it's higher in the sodium department, but man is it tasty!!

    Cutie Clementines!!! Those are the "little bit of sweet" to top off a great salad. PLUS 2 Cutie clementines is almost your full day of vitamin C.

    Raw almonds would be great to add too.

    A couple of items we typically add to salad:

    Red/yellow/orange bell peppers
    Peppadeux peppers (these are hot and sweet)
    Cherry/grape tomatoes
    Goat cheese crumbles (I like Montchevre basil and onion)

    Dressings we like are Hidden Valley Ranch Light 80 calories for a serving or Newman's Own Light Balsamic 45 calories a serving.
