    My fav is springmix with candied walnuts, mandrin oranges, and raspberry vinaigrette. It takes care of my sweet tooth and had crunch to it.

    Im so excited now!! i went to planet organic to look for some ingredients.. i usually go for the freshest looking veggies cause its all organic, hit or miss. I got some red leaf lettuce, tomato, avocado, some grass fed meat to top it with!, snappea crisps ( i like to use instead of croutons, too bad i cant find them without corn oil and dextrin natural flavor???). I got some nuts and dried fruit on hand. I'll experiment over the next few days making some of your guys salads and making some home made dressings mmmm!! they need a drooling smiley face lol

    Romaine lettuce (and spinach if you have it)

    1 baby cucumber sliced up

    some sugar snap peas

    1-2 deli slice or ham or turkey

    black olives

    top with balsamic vinegar and basil leaves.

    I think I'll go make one now.

    Make a salad with your favorite lettuce (I like to mix romaine and green leaf), tomato, cilantro, black beans (drained and rinsed), grilled chicken, a pinch or dried oregano crumbled between your thumb and fingers to unleash the full flavor, and crumbled low-fat/low-sodium tortilla chips. We make our own southwest salad dressing using 1/4 Cup miracle whip light (or light mayo), 1 to 2 Tbsp vinagar, Mrs Dash fiesta lime (love the chipotle flavor) cumin, and usually some more dried chipotle pepper. Add just enough salt to taste. Toss the dressing into the salad and serve. Sometimes we'll add a little corn and a jalepeno diced real fine.

    I submitted my Greek inspired cucumber salad recipe, but I don't think there's an actual recipe database set up yet.

    Ingredients:
    1 whole cucumber - Raw, Peeled, sliced and quartered
    1/2 raw lemon juice, no seeds
    3 Greek Kalamata Olives, pitted and sliced
    2 Green Olives, pitted and sliced
    1/4 cup chopped green onions - Spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw
    Morton - Sea Salt, 1/4 teaspoon
    Spices - Pepper, black, 0.5 tbsp
    Spices - Pepper, red or cayenne, 0.5 tsp

    Directions:
    Slice cucumbers, onion and olives.
    Combine in bowl.
    Squeeze 1/2 lemon over mixture.
    Season with salt, pepper and cayenne.

    Eat alone or on a pita with turkey or hummus. Enjoy ;)

    My poor husband has to eat this one at least twice a week! I constantly crave it...hope you enjoy

    I take about 2 cups mixed baby greens and top it with

    1 tbls. dried cranberries
    1 tbls. slivered almonds
    2 oz. crumbled reduced fat goat or feta cheese
    some thinly sliced red onion

    Here's the dressing recipe. I make it in a tight lidded jar and keep it in the fridge. It'll top about 6 salads

    1/2 c. olive oil
    1/2 c. balsamic vinegar
    2 tsp. splenda for baking (i'm not sure how much if it's just straight splenda)
    1 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper
    2 tsp. dijon mustard

    Shake it all together and drizzle over salad
