What is your favorite salad combo??

1cup quinoa
1 cucumber
1 medium tomato
4 dried tomatoes
raisins
3 mushrooms
olive oil

tuna mayo + avocado + tomato + spring onion + cheddar cheese

or

any Lebanese salad. The Lebanese have a way with salads.

Tabouli!

My go to salad is:

Spring mix greens
brocoli slaw
gorgonzola cheese
dried cranberries and golden raisins
toasted chopped pecans
cinnamon pear balsamic vinegar mixed with a little ranch.

This sounds delicious

Spring mix
raisins
pears
walnuts
grilled chicken
balsamic

YUM!

romaine lettuce, mushrooms, avocado, red onion, chickpeas or meatless chicken (you can use real), cucumber, pepper strips and light ranch dressing

baby spinach leaves, feta cheese, kalamata olives, cucumber, pepper strips, cheese tortellini, banana peppers with olive oil red wine vinegar lemon juice and oregano

My two go-to side salads that I have with supper every day. I don't use dressing as I can't stand it and these salads are definitely flavourful enough without it.

3 cups Baby spinach
12 Blackberries (can also use raspberries or strawberries)
1 tbsp. Sliced almonds
2 tbsp. Crumbled goat cheese


3 cups Mixed baby greens
1 tbsp. Sunflower seeds
2 tbsp. Garlic & herb crumbled feta cheese

3 cups romaine
Green peppers
soft boiled egg
mushrooms
Oz of pepperjack
croutons
bacon
8 oz grilled chicken or fake crab legs
3 tbsp light ranch
tomatoes

spinach
chopped apple
grilled chicken
dried cranberries
feta cheese
glazed walnuts
fat free cranberry dressing

spinach
fuji apple
low fat feta

sometimes I might add:
avocado
chicken breast
green onion
pecans
dried cranberries
or some bacon bits if I'm feeling saucy

for dressing whisk the following:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp dijon
a bit of salt and pepper

Jamie Oliver's recipe for chopped salad is to die for. There is something about the combination of the avocado and fresh basil that is just heavenly. I could easily eat the whole recipe in one sitting. :embarassed:

This is one of my favorites:

So Many Veggies Salad
Sue Solana's original recipe
The veggies, salad dressing, and type of cheese can all be changed to your liking. You can use this recipe just for a guide line or meal idea.

Ingredients
1 cup broccoli florets chopped
1 1/2 cup cauliflower (I had the 3 different colors, it made it really pretty) chopped
1/2 green bell pepper chopped
1/4 cup vidalia onions chopped
1 carrot chopped or shredded
1/2 zucchini chopped
4 oz Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese 50% reduced fat, crumbled
6 Tbls Ken's Vidalia Onion Lite salad dressing

Directions
I put it all in a container w/lid and shake it up and put it in the fridge.
It will last for several days. It made 1 lb 13 oz and a 1/4 of a lb (which is 4 oz or a good half cup measure) is 92 cals. You could get the cals down by using less cheese and dressing but those are what I live for, lol so I use lots. I put that with 1/2 a whole wheat pita and it makes a great lunch or supper for only 167 cals...plenty of wiggle room for some type of meat like rotisserie chicken or you can add pasta instead of the pita.

tuna mayo + avocado + tomato + spring onion + cheddar cheese

This sounds yummy! Though I'd probably add lettuce to it as well for more bulk. I might just have to try it!

Bump! These all sound great!

Looking for new salad combos and wondering if anyone has a great one they like.

I often eat this salad: It's probably pretty high in calories because of the dressing, (havn't eaten it since I started counting calories a month ago) but its soooo yummy.

Butter Lettuce mix (sometimes with added baby spinach if its on sale)
shredded carrot
shredded cucumber
three or four strawberries cut into chunks
or one very small pear cut into chunks
almonds/walnuts/pinenuts (one of those, whatever is on sale)
and top it off with litehouse raspberry vinagrette dressing

Mmmmmmmmmm.
