    Italian mix lettuce and veggies (lettuce, carrots, radish, etc.)
    Boneless, skinless chicken breast- grilled
    Shredded mozzarella
    Italian dressing
    Croutons
    Imitation bacon bits

    :)

    I actually enjoy caesar salad more, but it's hard to find a good caesar dressing without anchovies- which I don't eat.

    Sounds good J!!!

    Ever tried the packaged spring mix salad at Sams that has cranberries, feta, almonds and pkg of dressing. It really good....fast too!!!

    Today i'm making spinach spaghetti with sauted tomatoes, garlic, zuccini over it. Don't usually eat pasta but this spinach type isn't too bad, cleaning out fridge today too!!!

    I like the spinach salads with real bacon & hard boiled egg. Little red onion and warm vinagrette dressing. {{sigh}} :love:

    Probably the least healthy for you too, but YUM! :love: :heart:

    I am going to save this to favorites for ideas this week. All of these sound great!

    My homemade Italian Dressing is simply olive oil, red wine vinegar, splash of balsamic vinegar, garlic power and onion powder if I am too lazy to get out the food processer, italian seasonings.

    If I have fresh basil I will chop some up.

    I am glad I am full or I would have to go make a salad right now!!


    And for Brenda I will find an icecream salad recipe:laugh:

    I really like blackened tofu in my salad! I slice tofu, throw it in a pan with a little spray oil, some garlic powder, cajun seasoning, salt and pepper and sautee it within an inch of its life. Sooo good!

    My OMG (High Protein) Salad:

    blackened tofu
    beluga lentils
    baby spring mix
    cucumber
    green pepper
    cherry tomatoes
    Newman's Own light italian dressing

    It's so freaking good! I eat it almost everyday for lunch!

    A friend on here challenged me to read the labels of everything to see if sugar/hfcs was on the label.

    I will see this week!

    My OMG salad would have to be a blend of mixes I buy at the store

    Romaine hearts
    Baby Spinach
    Cole Slaw Salad Mix
    Baby Greens
    Tomato
    Red Onion
    Sun Flower seeds
    Sliced carrots
    And Salsa Ranch for dressing or something light and low calorie if I can't splurge that day

    I also like adding cut up broccoli some times
