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!!!0 -
Try putting some kumquats on a salad if you can find them, they are kind of intense on their own, but on a salad they give it a pretty nice citrusy kick.0
-
iceberg lettuce, croutons, bacon bits and ranch! love it!0
-
Sliced strawberries, feta, pecans, grilled chicken, and strawberry/berry vinaigrette.
Great combo.
I prefer spinach for the greens so it isn't the nutritional equivalent of cardboard though.0 -
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!0

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:0 -
My fave right now is:
Arugula and/or spinach
1 ounce goat cheese
pickled beets (I prefer Lovebeets!)
salt/pepper
drizzle of EVOO
drizzle of vinegar
BUT, it doesn't need dressing at all really, if you cut/chop it well enough with the beets and cheese and S&P.
Sometimes I add some beans, but I get enough of those in the rest of my meals lately, so for me, lately, a salad get's to be a salad and doesn't have to be a meal.0 -
Lettuce, chicken, black beans, corn, salsa, & light ranch.0

grated khol rhabi is very nice on salad as is mooli (japanese radish) I keep a big pot by the backdoor where I grow mixed salad leaves like mustard and land cress (DONT grow this in open soil it's unbelievably invasive!)
Putting fresh picked stuff in salads makes an awful lot of difference even if it's just herbs out of a windowsill pot x0 -
Classic spinach - Baby spinach, red onions, white mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, bacon (optional), and crutons.
Pairs nice a with honey dijon or poppyseed dressing.0 -
Oh! Also Tabbouleh!
I love fresh parsley this time of year. I make it myself sometimes, but if you're looking for store bought, I highly recommend the Good Neighbors brand. It's my preferred ratio of veggies to grain.
I seriously, cannot wait to get home to some tabbouleh now.0 -

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 x0
