    I eat them a lot too. One of my favorites is spinach with avocado, tomato, canned salmon, mozzarella and Newman's Own lite honey mustard dressing. Another is just like a taco salad without the shell...romaine, avocado, ground turkey or a cut up Morningstar spicy black bean burger, black beans, salsa and either reduced fat sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

    Oh, I love that taco salad idea. Are the Morningstart burgers good? haven't tried them.......did discover recently that I like turkey burgers (never thought I'd say that!!!)

    You guys are giving me awesome ideas...........LOVE it!

    I LOVE cilantro in my salads too!! For me it just MAKES it...takes a plain-tasting salad and gives it such a good taste!

    My absolute favorite salad is the Apple PecanChicken Salad from Wendy's w/o pecans b/c I'm allergic. Didn't feel like spending $7 everyday though, so I got the ingredients to make my own! And it was less calories than theirs! :glasses:

    I was just thinking about this today. I absolutely cannot seem to tire of avocado. They make me soooooo happy. I've been eating them with breakfast, OFTEN. Love them.

    And I agree with you, I never tire of salads!

    Have not tried that.........am kind of afraid to, as I might like it too much as well !!!

    I used to love the oriental salad at Wendy's - do they still have that?
