My favorite Salad is:
2 Cups Baby Spinach
1/2 cup strawberries
1 Tbs feta cheese,
1 Tbs real bacon bits
1 Tbs Almond Accents Cracked Black Pepper Sliced Almonds.
I put it all into a baggie and then add one Tbs of Pear and Gorgonzola dressing and shake it so it is completely covered.
It is so good!
Per Serving: Cal 149 Carb 15 Fat 7 Protein 8 Sodium 499

Sometimes I add grilled chicken or grilled steak in with it.


I would love to see what you like in yours?

    My salads consist of whatever I have in the fridge.

    Spinach, feta cheese, red onion, cucumber, strawberries, sliced almonds and some chicken was in a recent salad with some balsamic.

    Or spinach, red onions, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers and tuna.

    I just look in the fridge and throw stuff in a bowl with a lid.

    My favorite salad is a "Greek" salad...

    Cucumber
    Tomato
    Red onion
    Pickled peppers
    Pickled beets
    Feta cheese
    Olives

    Lettuce is optional but I tend to like 'fancy' lettuce when I do eat it.

    Otherwise I am the person that will try any vegetable (and occasional fruit) in my salad. The more the merrier.

    YES THIS!

    Likewise. A bit of mix & match.

    Dressing (for me) is usually what keeps it all together.

    Spinach, strawberries, feta, salmon, and some balsamic dressing. I add about a half cup of cooked quinoa if I need more of a carb to keep me going. I could literally eat this every day of my life. Mmm..

    Aside from that pretty much whatever is in the fridge. Throw it in a bowl and shake a bit of dressing over it, it's hard to make a bad mix when it comes to fresh veggies

    Usually I just toss whatever vegetables happen to be in the crisper drawer in a bowl, but a salad that I really like and eat regularly has in it baby spinach leaves, tomato, cucumber, carrots, avocado, bacon, chicken, eggs, walnuts, raisins, and cheese. It ends up being like a 500 calorie salad, but it's so good :love:

    Also, I hate dressing. Any kind. It's all gross.

    spring mix greens, tomatoes, goat cheese, walnuts, golden raisins, and Trader Joe's Cranberry Gorgonzola vinaigrette. Often with red quinoa or plain tuna on top. To die for. This is one of my favorite meals ever (including *before* I was trying to lose weight!) It's usually under 300 calories (I weigh everything), or ~400 with the quinoa. such a satisfying lunch!

    I just made an awesome new salad (packed lunch for tomorrow). I was out of lettuce, so I got creative- I made curried tuna salad (2.5 oz plain tuna, 1 tbsp light mayo, a few golden raisins, curry powder and garlic powder) and mixed it with chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, and leftover peas. Topped it with a little balsamic vinegar and one tbsp of lite poppyseed dressing. Sounds weird, but it came out DELICIOUS and made a huge salad for 330 cals! So excited for lunch tomorrow!

    I mix it up all the time. I eat just about any fruit or vegie in salad and the more the better. I also do shrimp, turkey, chicken, ham, bacon bits, tuna, olives, eggs, turkey pepperoni, and light dressings. Sometimes reduced fat cheese.
