    I'll start with spinach, tomatoes, matchstick carrots, and cucumber

    Then I'll add two of the following dark red kidney beans, sea salt and cracked pepper croutons, Sharp cheddar, or Italian Dressing

    I awkwardly love simple salads.

    Chopped chicken breast 100-200g, Iceberg lettuce, Cucumber and Tomatoes/ Capsicum. For the basic, yes, BASIC dressing, I use Balsamic Vinegar and some Olive Oil - Extra virgin.

    OOOOOOO, the best by far, tops, is Max & Erma Santa Fe Salad. I could eat it every day. Don't know if they got one where ever you are, if not, I am so sorry.....:sad:

    Mixed greens
    Stinky cheese
    Fruit
    Crunch
    Balsamic glaze with no oil (Gia Russo at Publix is good and cheap)

    1 oz blue cheese, pecans, strawberries
    1 oz feta, poached diced pears, walnuts
    1 oz cheddar, some canned pineapple, cruchy sesame sticks. (This is not a very good salad, but just wanted to show all you do is follow the general formula)

    spinach, craisins, sunflower seeds and a little cheese (usually cheddar or taco cheese)! SO good that I don't even usually add any dressing at all!

    Romaine lettuce mixed with herb salad, raw zucchini, yellow squash, kohlrabi, tiny, baby new potatoes, tiny turnips, fresh corn cut off the cob (not cooked, it only becomes a starch when cooked) and I chop up avocado, squeeze on lemon and salt and pepper and then toss it all together. I sometimes sprinkle on stevia and toss it around in the salad too.

    This sounds nuts but the acidity of the lemon and the bit of sweet from the stevia is really good. And for some reason it cuts my need to have something sweet after lunch.

    And thank heavens for the farmer's markets right now!

    I am getting a little bored with my "same old, same old" salad and I need some new ideas. What's your favorite? Recipe?

    Two that are super good.

    1.) Avacados, pink grapefruit, red onion, spinach with an orange vinegarette

    2.) Caprese salad: fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, fresh basil and I add cucumbers to mine. Drizzle with low fat balsamic dressing

    I make a Spring Roll Salad that I love. It's basically all the ingredients of a spring roll in a bowl. Cold rice noodles, lettuce, cucumber, cilantro, shrimp, and hot peanut sauce. Yum!

    Baby spinach as the greens, with cucumber, shredded carrots, alfalfa sprouts, green peas, broccoli, mushrooms, bean sprouts, sunflower seeds, and guacamole and/or salsa instead of dressing.
