salad ideas?

My "Mega salad" consists of the following:

lettuce
cherry tomatoes
sweetcorn (little spoonful)
chopped spring onions
beetroot
grated carrot
sliced red pepper
a boiled egg


and some cold meat on the side :glasses:

BOOOOOM!!!

iceberg lettuce, croutons, bacon bits and ranch! love it!

Romaine lettuce, purple onions, kidney or black beans, carrots, tomatoes, red bell pepper(red is my favorite, but any is okay), dried cranberries, nutritional yeast, and usually lemon juice instead of dressing. I sometimes will put avocado on it, but that's kind of a treat, not a usual thing. And I will sometimes use fat free salad dressing. I absolutely LOVE salad!

Romaine lettuce or I prefer lots of spinach, grilled chicken or a boiled egg..sometimes a side of salmon, carrots, lots of cucumbers, green onions, radishes, bell peppers, sometimes mushrooms,1/4 cup of garbanzo beans or soybeans, avocado, tomatoes.

I eat my salad with a splash of vinegar and lots of pepper.

I had a salad for lunch! :bigsmile:

Lettuce, chicken, black beans, corn, salsa, & light ranch.

I've been eager to try that one ^

Here is a whole page of different salads:

Classic spinach - Baby spinach, red onions, white mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, bacon (optional), and crutons.

Pairs nice a with honey dijon or poppyseed dressing.

I usually have the same salad over and over but change dressings. Sometimes I might have lemon juice, other times I might have a Balsamic dressing or I might use a light salad cream, but I even make up vinaigrette bt I make it completely oil free! yummy x

I eat a salad for lunch everyday – mixed greens, red bell pepper, cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, ½ avocado, tuna and sometimes some sunflower seeds. Never use dressing.

Today I made a sweet salad that was delicious.

Torn baby spinach
Quartered, pitted cherries

Then the dressing was
1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup blueberries
1 tbsp olive oil
about half a tbsp of lemon juice
dash of cinnamon
all mixed up in the food processor (a blender would have worked better though)

And that was it. I was going to add grilled chicken, but I was too lazy. I think almonds would have been great on it, but we're out.

Spinach, watercress and rocket. peppers, red onion, sweetcorn, cucumber, gherkin, Beetroot and grapes. Pine nuts and Balsamic Vinegar.
I usually have this with smoked Salmon or prawns

I get so overzealous and put literally every vegetable I like in a salad... it gets gross because the flavors don't mesh well. I need to learn how to make "themed" salads, lol.

I usually just throw whatever I have in my fridge in a bowl for lunch - romaine, spinach, snap peas, carrots (I use a cheese shredder and grate them into the salad), beets, radishes, dried cranberries or raisins, sunflower seeds or walnuts, and maybe a little cheese. I will also squeeze some lemon or lime juice on them. Sometimes I will add blueberries or whatever fruit is in season. I've also put mango, avocado, strawberries, melon, Greek yogurt, kale, celery, quinoa, barley, and really anything else.

I also made a great strawberry salad with spinach, strawberries, raisins, with a raspberry viniagerette dressing. Yum!
