    Blueberries
    Walnuts
    Apples
    Grilled Chicken
    With a citrus dressing (or if you are lazy like me - just squeeze and orange over the apples and toss)

    SO Delicious.

    Here are a few other of my favorites:
    Chicken BLT Salad (grilled or poached works great) - I like making a BLT salad, with turkey bacon (just had it last night for dinner!). For the 'dressing' I take a small amount of mayo with olive oil, and whisk it with white vinegar, salt, pepper, and then add in chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. It makes the dressing more runny and has a tangy taste. Then crumble the bacon over the top.

    If its my main meal:

    chunks of leftover steak and a little bit of blue cheese crumbles
    chicken fajita strips and salsa
    black beans
    shredded rotisserie chicken
    salmon
    grilled shrimp and lime

    My salad for today is spinach, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, cucumbers, mushrooms, red peppers, red onion, chopped pickles, slivered almonds, strawberries, rotisserie chicken and raspberry viniagrette.

    Forgot: also use avocado slices from time to time as well as chickpeas. For a change I buy the shredded cole slaw mix with the different types of cabbage and mix it in with the spinach or baby greens mix. I also use the matchstick carrots in the mix.

    I like adding cranraisins and almonds to salad ... (it helps add flavor to couscous and quinoa too).

    Also I have a favorite salad at a restaurant I go to once in a great while which is lettuce greens, tomato, a sliced rare steak and blue cheese..

    Shrimp, crab, salmon, avacado, kidney beans, chopped apple, cilantro.

    Add black olives, doritos and ranch dressing and it tastes like a taco salad without the meat.

    Here's what I get at the salad bar at work:

    greens, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, chick peas, chicken breast (or turkey deli meat, depending on my mood), celery, green/red peppers (depending on what is available), italian salad dressing, and I top it with craisins and banana chips. Sometimes I add a slice of cheese or some shredded cheese.

    There are other things at the salad bar that I will also incorporate in, but that is my go-to.
