Taco salad:
lettuce
red peppers
green onion
black beans
corn
taco meat (either beef or chicken)
a smidge of shredded cheese
salsa mixed with sour cream for dressing

It's so filling and absolutely delicious!

Any greens, with craisins, walnuts, blue cheese, lots of scallions and grape tomatoes (usually cut in half). With raspberry vinaigrette.

Or a different version, use chicken and red grapes and adjust the other ingredients.

Carrot salad, raw carrot grated, squeeze lemon juice over the top to stop it going brown and add a spoon of sugar to balance it... no dressing needed but super super yummy!

Here's my standby:

Grilled chicken breast, diced
Spring Mix greens
Red bell pepper
Green pepper
Shredded carrots
Cucumbers
A little crumbled feta cheese
A little shredded parmesan cheese
Chatham Village Garden Herb Croutons
Ken's Light Options ranch dressing

A total of 370 calories and very satisfying

Romaine, celery, peppers (either green bell or sweet peppers), carrots, mushrooms, beets, glazed walnut or pecan pieces and for protein I add either a hard boiled egg, tuna or grilled chicken. Usually go with a vinagrette dressing.

Just a salad I eat almost every night to curb my appetite- Baby spinach and then I mix orange juice and balsamic,add some dried cranberries and either bleu cheese,feta or garganzola. YUM You can also add some virgin olive oil and other goodies to make it heartier.

These all sound delicious and I shall try all, but as I'm new to this I need to ask: wouldn't feta be considered high fat? I love feta cheese but always worried about the fat content. Also I'm British, what are craisins??

Reduced fat blue cheese
