  • Adding fresh herbs as additional greens adds good flavor...like cilantro to Thai or Mexican salads, oregano to Greek salads, basil to Italian salads, etc. Sometimes I add cilantro to tacos instead of lettuce....

    I also have main dishes over greens instead of a grain...a little wacky, but you don't need dressing on spaghetti sauce over greens!

    Lately I've been going to Whole Foods for lunch because they have a great salad bar. I usually make one of these, with a side of fresh fruit salad:

    Mexican Chicken Salad
    -iceberg lettuce
    -black beans
    -lime cilantro roasted chicken
    -pico de gallo
    -corn salsa
    -jalapenos
    -a little crumbled feta cheese

    or

    Grilled Chicken Salad
    -spring mix
    -balsamic vinegar w/ a little olive oil
    -almond slivers
    -dried cranberries
    -cucumber wedges
    -grilled chicken
    -feta or blue cheese crumbles
