    what a great topic...bump, bump, bump!!!!! Thanks for some wonderful salad recipes!!! I like iceberg lettuce (i know boring) and just add random veggies, etc...this is great. Time to experiment.

    Spinach & Berry Salad:
    2 cups baby spinach
    2-3 strawberries sliced
    8-10 raspberries
    1/2 small avocado sliced

    Sauce: mix 1 tsp mayo with 1 tsp sour cream, add a tiny bit of fresh thymes leaves and mix. Drizzle only enough for taste over your salad. It's delish and and not that many calories (and if your exercising you can work that off quick enough)

    Raw Vegie Salad:

    1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped into medium sized squares
    1 Roma Tomato chopped into same squares
    1 Fresh carrot, sliced into semi-thick slices
    1 small avocado, chopped into medium size squares

    Mix your vegie squares. The juice from the tomato and the avocado make a natural 'dressing' and sprinkled with just a tiny bit of salt and pepper this salad is easy to make, very filling and low in calories but flavorful.

    Good luck!

    I have 2 in particular that I love!

    The first one is Spinach, walnuts, avocado and Annie's Goddess Dressing(<----to die for)

    And a caprese salad I make- mozzarella balls sliced, grape tomatoes sliced, and fresh basil mixed in a bowl with olive oil and balsamic vinegarette. Crack some pepper and sea salt in there...yum!

    Spring Mix or Romaine Mix lettuce
    Grilled Chicken
    Fresh Apples
    Pecans
    Pomegranate Vinaigrette Dressing

    or

    Spring Mix or Romaine Mix Lettuce
    Grilled Chicken
    Garlic Croutons
    Light Italian Dressing

    I'm not a very adventurous eater, but I do at least on salad a week, and these are the two I migrate back two the most. I don't do cheese on them, because I'm lactose intolerant. However, adding some fresh parmesan to either one would be delicious, I bet!

    I use grape tomatoes and red wine vinegar instead of what the recipe lists. the best part about this salas is the seasoned salt. You have to let it sit overnight or its not nearly as good. I also throw in some feta. Hubby and I love it so much we decided to get grape tomato plants this year!

    I made this salad the other day it was delicious.

    1 small cucumber
    6 roma tomatos (I used 4 but I'm not a big fan of tomatoes)
    1/4 cup fresh basil diced
    3 green onions (I used 1 whole onion)
    2 tablespoons basalmic vinegar
    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (I only used 1, or thought it would be too oily)
    3 tablespoons of feta cheese (I left this off and sprinkled on top when I was ready to eat it)
