My salad needs to get a life!

MirandaJayne

I am going to broil oz of costco brand salmon for dinner and throw in on a bed of mix greens. Typically I will cut up 1/2 cup of english cucumbers and just have that with a homemade baslamic&evoo dressing.

I have already posted the salmon and the spring mix of lettuce on my food diary... I have 375-300 calories I am looking to fill for dinner. What low sodium non carbs (i.e. no crutons please) suggestions do people have?

Thank you :flowerforyou:

Just going to list stuff I like on my salads not sure if it fits into your low carb sodium but ideas at least

Dried fruit, cranberries especially
Almond slivers
Pine nuts
Apples
Hummus
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Salsa
Black Beans
Parmesan cheese (fresh)
Avocado, as mentioned
Red, yellow, green peppers
Edamame

Thats all I can think of for now, good luck! And note, I don't put these all on at once HAHA

I love salads, even before I started my life journey. I like to put most of the things that were mentioned, plus

-eggs
-2 tbsp. bacon bits
-banana rings (about 20 rings)
-olives.


Hope this helps. Taye

low-fat cottage cheese is a good addition to a salad. I did not realize how much protein I was able to add to my diet this way

hot sauce helps my salads taste really good without the dressings

See if you can find Seneca Onion crisps. They are basically dehydrated onions. SO GOOD! I put them on every salad now, in lieu of croutons.

Feta cheese, avocado, boiled egg, dried cranberries, granny smith apple slices - those are my favorites on a salad!

I LOVE vinegar or lemon juice on mine. I stopped eating salad dressing a loooong time ago because I want to taste everything else!
Roman and lemon juice never seems to bore me!
