My two go-to side salads that I have with supper every day. I don't use dressing as I can't stand it and these salads are definitely flavourful enough without it.

3 cups Baby spinach
12 Blackberries (can also use raspberries or strawberries)
1 tbsp. Sliced almonds
2 tbsp. Crumbled goat cheese


3 cups Mixed baby greens
1 tbsp. Sunflower seeds
2 tbsp. Garlic & herb crumbled feta cheese

Looking for new salad combos and wondering if anyone has a great one they like.

Green salad: romaine or red-leaf lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onions, mushrooms, beans (black, red, or garbanzo), and cheese. And dressing. (yes, I like everything in my salads).

Pasta salad: bowtie or shell pasta, green onion, olives, artichoke hearts, and Italian dressing.

Jamie Oliver's recipe for chopped salad is to die for. There is something about the combination of the avocado and fresh basil that is just heavenly. I could easily eat the whole recipe in one sitting. :embarassed:

This is one of my favorites:

So Many Veggies Salad
Sue Solana's original recipe
The veggies, salad dressing, and type of cheese can all be changed to your liking. You can use this recipe just for a guide line or meal idea.

Ingredients
1 cup broccoli florets chopped
1 1/2 cup cauliflower (I had the 3 different colors, it made it really pretty) chopped
1/2 green bell pepper chopped
1/4 cup vidalia onions chopped
1 carrot chopped or shredded
1/2 zucchini chopped
4 oz Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese 50% reduced fat, crumbled
6 Tbls Ken's Vidalia Onion Lite salad dressing

Directions
I put it all in a container w/lid and shake it up and put it in the fridge.
It will last for several days. It made 1 lb 13 oz and a 1/4 of a lb (which is 4 oz or a good half cup measure) is 92 cals. You could get the cals down by using less cheese and dressing but those are what I live for, lol so I use lots. I put that with 1/2 a whole wheat pita and it makes a great lunch or supper for only 167 cals...plenty of wiggle room for some type of meat like rotisserie chicken or you can add pasta instead of the pita.

These all sound so good. Gonna bookmark this thread because I am so tired of chicken with light caesar.

littlelily613

tuna mayo + avocado + tomato + spring onion + cheddar cheese

This sounds yummy! Though I'd probably add lettuce to it as well for more bulk. I might just have to try it!

Looking for new salad combos and wondering if anyone has a great one they like.

I often eat this salad: It's probably pretty high in calories because of the dressing, (havn't eaten it since I started counting calories a month ago) but its soooo yummy.

Butter Lettuce mix (sometimes with added baby spinach if its on sale)
shredded carrot
shredded cucumber
three or four strawberries cut into chunks
or one very small pear cut into chunks
almonds/walnuts/pinenuts (one of those, whatever is on sale)
and top it off with litehouse raspberry vinagrette dressing

Mmmmmmmmmm.

Romaine lettuce, croutons, a little shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and a little creany Caesar dressing. It's tasty and filling enough to be a whole meal. Adding grilled chicken cubes makes it even better.

-OR-
I just invented this one:

2-3 C lettuce
1/2 C canned black beans, lightly rinsed
3 oz grilled chicken
3-4 sliced sweet mini peppers (I like to sautee them a little first)
2 Tbsp sour cream

toss it all together; the sour cream and the juices from the beans makes an AWESOME, low-cal dressing for the whole salad, and it is just delicious. Try it!
