    I know it sounds weird, but sometimes I use Fage 0% fat Greek yogurt mixed with my homemade salsa for salad dressing 8 oz. of Fage has 23g of protein.

    LOVE some spinach and kale, too!

    Cheese
    Low sodium, well rinsed legumes (not nearly the protien of meat or eggs though)
    Shrimp or Crab
    Almonds or Peanuts
    Tofu

    i use spinach, grilled chicken, hard-bolied eggs, soy beans, a little bleu cheese, and thats pretty much those whole salad lol...cottage cheese is a good one too(but i usualy dont buy itcause it goes bad too fast for me, i love to use kidney beans and garbonzo beans, for dressing i just use balsamic vinegar.
