My favorite is romaine and spinach with corn, sun dried tomatoes, and goat cheese. Sometimes I'll substitute black beans for the sun-dried tomatoes when I need to spice it up!0

Nice. Sometimes I add black soybeans (great nutrition profile). Sometimes I add herring or sardines (and the oil).
Sundried tomatoes sounds like a great addition!0 -
I like some crunch in my salads, like some pine nuts, or flaked almonds or fried shallots, if it is an asian style salad. Goats cheese is a great addition, so much flavour for reasonable calories. Anchovies, capers, olives and the like give a lovely flavour punch if you like the salty stuff!0

I like spring mix with black beans, chicken cooked in a little olive oil and a generous heap of taco seasoning, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet corn. I serve it with a heap of sour cream and homemade guacamole, and mix it all together as the dressing.
Also tastes awesome with steak.0 -
I top salads (along with just about everything else besides fruit) with Old Bay.0

LMAO, I had this whole moment of "Isn't Old Bay a brand of rum?" but no - it's seasoning.0 -

I'm from Maryland, I can't help it!...but who's to say I'm not topping everything with rum?0 -
I can't eat salads unless they include things with various and contrasting flavor profiles and textures. Like pairing kalmata olives (salty/bitter) and golden raisins. I love that duo!0

Spring mix, drained mandarin oranges, chopped avocado, French's fried onions, sliced almonds, chopped tomatoes, and no, you don't need a bit of salad dressing!0

Spinach, kale, chicken, apples, craisins, almonds. If you feel the need to add dressing, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, mrs dash garlic and herb.0

When I want to pack the protein, I recreate Panera's Power Chicken Hummus Bowl: spinach, red onion, hummus, and chicken. I spice it up with Mrs. Dash Chipotle seasoning.0

roasted or pickled beets. sometimes I like to substitute fresh salsa for dressing- low calories and lots of flavor. berries, grapes cut in quarters, or chopped apples.0

My salads are big, 4 to 6 cups, and usually include 8 to 9 items: mixed leaf greens, red cabbage, green onions, sweet onion, cucumber, broccoli, tomato, snap peas, mini carrots, tuna or salmon, gorgonzola cheese, balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dressing. I usually eat this about 3 or 4 pm M-Th and most days it holds me through the night.0

grilled portabella slices!0

i love crab stick salads .. throw in some pomegranate seeds for a change .. or even kiwi fruit..or make your own tzatsiki ..cheap and easy and extra protein to boot.
i always make my salads chopped in a huge bowl..mix it all in one and usually add in some green or red pesto as a dressing.

LOVING this thread. A big *kitten* salad is one of my favourite things. Fresh/fatty/chewy/crunchy are all musts. So many great ideas here!
Here's mine - Buffalo Chicken Salad
A load of greens
Half fat mayo & apple cider vinegar as dressing
Optional black bean/corn/tomato mixed in
Grated cheddar cheese
Chicken tossed in wing sauce or Franks Hot
Topped with tortilla strips or crumbled corn chips
Heaven!!0 -
I put crab sticks on all of my salads! My fave combo is crab sticks, caesar dressing, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, feta cheese, a handful of broccoli slaw, and store bought croutons.0
-
I love to add tabouli to my salad. It adds a different taste to it completely.0
-
I have been on a BLT salad with chicken and avocado dressing lately... So much yum!
