    I just made this one the other night and LOVED it! My fiance (who is not dieting) also adored it and asked me to make it again someday. Here's the link:
    Thai-Style Melon and Beef Salad
    http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/thai_style_melon_beef_salad.html

    I know it has nothing to do with my creativity (or lack thereof), but it's soooo good!

    One tip I would give it to add the dressing gradually, as it tends to get caught up in the smaller bits of the salad and cause the bottom to be over-dressed after a while.

    Cheers!

    Got this one from Jillian Michaels' site and it is DELICIOUS!! I have to make myself not eat it every day!!

    Ham and Apple on Grilled Country Bread

    Ingredients

    * cooking spray, olive oil-flavored, for the grill pan
    * 2 slice(s) bread, whole-wheat country, crusty, or whole-wheat boule
    * 1 1/2 teaspoon mustard, Dijon
    * 1/4 teaspoon honey
    * 1 1/2 ounce(s) ham, smoked, organic, thinly sliced, such as Black Forest
    * 1/2 ounce(s) cheese, cheddar, reduced-fat, thinly sliced
    * 1/4 apple(s), Granny Smith, cored and thinly sliced
    * freshly ground pepper, to taste

    Preparation
    Spray a grill pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Place the bread slices on the grill and grill until grill marks appear on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, place the mustard and honey. Stir with a small spoon until well combined.

    Place the grilled bread on a work surface and spread the mustard and honey mixture on both slices. On one slice of bread, place the ham, gently folding each slice in thirds to give the sandwich some height. Arrange the cheese slices on top and then the apple slices. Grind some black pepper on the apple. Place the other slice of grilled bread on top. Slice the sandwich in half. Serve.
