I love salads but eating the same ones over and over again bores me!

my most recent fav is....
head of Romaine chopped
about 1 cup chopped cabbage
about 1-2 cups chopped spinach
chopped red onion
broccoli
raw ramen noodles packet crushed and toasted in skillet with no calorie spray
soy dressing
2 T reduced sodium soy sauce
2 T red wine vinager
1 t sugar
1 T olive oil
1 t chopped garlic
1 bay leaf - I try to make this the day before so the bay leaf has time to soak in the liquid.
sometimes I also add a little sprinkle of the seasoning packet from the ramen noodles.
even my kids love this and when you are dividing up 1 packet of ramen between the whole family the calories are not so bad.

Olivia's organic 50/50 spring mix w/spinach
3-4 dried apricots, sliced
3oz grilled chicken, spiced with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, basil, rosemary.
Kens lite olive oil n vinegar dressing
1 tomato
sometimes I'll add 1/3 cucumber
half a granny smith apple or mcintosh apple, sliced
1 oz of either feta or fresh mozzarella
Comes out to about 400-450 calories after weighing everything.
edit, forgot the cheese.0 -

If you're wanting to get away from lettuce-type salads sometimes, my family loves olive salad. I chop up a package of celery and a bag of shredded carrots. Then I pour over a large jar of sliced Spanish olives (including the juice). Add some white wine or rice vinegar and a tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Let it marinate overnight. It's delicious and really crunchy.0

Chicken salad with avocado instead of mayo too for non-leafy salad options.
I eat a salad for the toppings Pine nuts, avocado, tomato, cucumbers, banana peppers, olives, etc. I can cut up the chicken I have for lunch and throw it on there too. I find that cheese and bacon sadly gets lost in the mix, so I skip it (and I love cheese and bacon). It's your salad, put what you want!0 -
This is my favorite. Can't believe it's vegan. That dressing though...

We skip the sweet potatoes (I can never get them crispy!!!) and add in a few pieces of steak. Delicious.0 -
I love beets, cucumbers, goat cheese and almonds or walnuts in my salads... with balsamic vinegar and a tad of olive oil; I also love prepping hard boiled eggs for the week and I throw 1 or 2 of them in there, too0
