Salads

butterflylover527

I was luckily and got quite a bit of romaine lettuce this week, so it would be stupid for me not to use it.

I always have the same salad (lettuce, a few cut up chicken nuggets and a little but of ranch) but I really want to try other recipes so I don't get bored this week.

So what salad combinations do you enjoy?

Chicken and avocado salads are the best!

Top that romaine with:

Black beans, cheddar, tortilla strips, and Litehouse Salsa Ranch dressing

Steak, bell pepper, and your favorite Caesar dressing

Sauteed pork, dried cherries, and a fruit vinaigrette

Blue cheese, walnuts, crumbled bacon, and balsamic vinaigrette

Garbanzo beans, feta, red onion, cucumber, and a Greek dressing

try adding roasted vegetables, cooked quinoa, polenta squares (cooked, cooled and cubed) or sprouts

Thin sliced pear, red onion, crumbled feta - with a light balsamic dressing.

Taco salad: corn, beans, cilantro, chopped tomato, red bell pepper, onion, a little bit of cheese - use salsa as dressing

Chef salad: hard boiled egg, ham or turkey, green onion, carrots. red bell pepper, olives, etc....

I love salads with grilled chicken, fruit (strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc.), nuts (walnuts, pecans, pine nuts, etc.), cheese (gorgonzola, bleu, etc.), and a light vinegarette (raspberry, cider, wine, etc).

Hope I helped

Garbanzo beans, feta, red onion, cucumber, and a Greek dressing

Never thought of garbanzo beans on my Greek salads (though I've put them on salad bar salads.

Must try!

Lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, black beans, cheddar cheese and plain fat free greek yogurt. My favorite right now.

I eat at least one big salad a day, everyday. And have for months, and it's crazy how much better I've felt since doing this. Usually my go-to salad is romaine, spring lettuce mix, some crumbled light goat cheese, two slices of tomato cut up, 1-2 strawberries cut up, 1/4 of a yellow or orange pepper, a bit of red onion, and 1 tbsp of hemp seeds. Dressing is usually a Renee's (low calories, GF and YUMMY!).

YUM, I'm loving all of these ideas. Don't really have any to add but didn't want to lose this post

I usually mix a couple greens together - like add spinach to your romaine for instance
Bell pepper (red is my favorite but I also will use yellow and orange or all three)
Some sort of protein - tuna, chicken, lean ground turkey (cooked), salmon - you can get it in a pouch
Cucumber
Tomato
Instead of dressing, I use a serving of cottage cheese

tortellini salad
cheese torteillini topped on lettuce, kalamata olives, banana peppers, red onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, feta cheese with lemon juice olive oil red wine vinegrette and some oregano/garlic powder. also good with a ranch dressing

marooned

baby Spinach, grape tomatoes, cukes, grilled portabello mushrooms, red onions and light ranch dressing. (grilled chicken ham or fish as protein)

I love all of these ideas! Thank you

A mixture of whatever lettuce you have on hand and chopped cabbage.
Chop up some carrots, celery, onion, tomatoes.
Add in some nuts for protein and healthy fat.
Asian vinaigrette dressing.
