I put tons of stuff in my salads! Bell peppers (red, green and yellow), onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, black beans, crumbled seasoned tofu, kidney beans, corn, cranberries, sunflower seeds, etc. Not all of these go in every salad obviously, but some combination.0

I make my own dressings, it's easy, fast & healthier. I like a Mexican style salad w/ chicken or beef, avocado, queso fresca, salsa & cilantro. Asian style salad w/ chicken or shrimp, mandarin oranges, toasted sesame seeds, homemade dressing. (olive or sesame oil vinegar, dash of soy sauce, ginger) Steak & sundried tomatoes on shredded romaine w/ homemade Dijon vinaigrette. (olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard)
Waldorf: chicken, grapes, mayo, walnuts, celery and apple on romaine.
Turkey w/ sliced pears, walnuts blue cheese or feta, oil & vinegar.
tuna w/ julienne carrots, green raisins, mayo, walnuts on greens.
spinach, walnuts, chicken, strawberries, maple dressing (maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil)0 -
When I do make salads, I love to make creative ones. I would add canned veggie, like green beans, gabanzo beans, corn, peas, etc. I love tomatoes, cheese, and some type of meat in it too.0

Tuna, egg and sweet chilli sauce :-) lots of protein, low carb, fiber... A little fat
Very filling, very satisfying meal for me! Love it x0 -
I'm a sucker for that Southwest Dressing from McDonalds. It's sooooooo good. I need to find a way to buy that stuff in bulk. I'd eat salads a lot more if I had it.0

In truth, nothing. I am eating a bowl of fresh spinach leaves with a little lime juice and some powdered Italian Dressing mix. Low calorie, nutrient dense and WONDERFUL0

Cheese, sunflower seeds, and ranch dressing. *drool*0

In addition to more veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, green/red peppers and onions), I find that feta cheese, nuts and a fruit like grapes or chopped apples make the salad really special. Tend to make an olive oil/balsalmic dressing with salt, pepper and the tiniest pinch of sugar.0

It's always different -- I top salad with whatever I need/want. A favorite, though, is hard-boiled egg and/or cottage cheese. I also especially like sunflower seeds and red onions.0

Thanks, all, creativity abounds!
This afternoon I am experiencing a bizarre, very-atypical-for-me craving for, of all things, the rabbit food. For lunch I had a big bowl of romaine with roasted bell peppers and feta, followed by a bowl of romaine with picante sauce and crushed pineapple, followed by an encore appearance of the latter. I expect my nose to start twitching any moment now.0 -
What do you add to your salad to elevate it above "rabbit food"?

Spinach Salad with fresh strawberries, blueberries & walnuts... Raspberry Walnut vinegrette (homemade or Ken's)
this is soooo good! there was a packaged salad mix that my boyfriends grandma had, and it came with all of the above, except it was almond slivers instead of walnuts! so yummy0 -
I guess I am the only one that likes the Plain Jane salad . Lettuce, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and french dressing.
I like Lettuce, red onion, cucumbers, tomato and light ranch, I thought I was alone LOL There is nothing wrong with a plain Jane salad. I might get crazy sometimes and add some crutons.0
