I feel like I have to have a dry crunch with my lunch. If I have a sandwich I have pirate booty or Boom Chika Pop popcorn. What would you suggest with a salad...pita, rice cake? And what do you have in the salad.

1/2 extra crispy toasted sourdough English muffin. With a little of the salad dressing on it, or I use it to push my salad onto the fork..0

Found these parmesean cheese crisps at Costco. 15 Whisps are only 100 calories!1

Soup or 1/2 sandwich.1

I like either a big salad with protein, veggies, avocado or nuts etc. or a smaller salad and soup.2

I like salad with gorgonzola or blue cheese. Really good paired with whatever fruit is in season, esp pears!
On the side, my favorite is when I make sweet potato fries and re-crisp them in the toaster oven.0 -
Pork rinds.
Cottage cheese.

I just...have the salad. Usually it's 200 calories and huge because I used 180g of greens, about 200g of peppers and other veg like pepperoncini, red cabbage, or cucumbers. Then I have one laughing cow cheese wedge, 50-100 calories of tuna, and use hot sauce as dressing.
I'll have a snack about 2-3 hours later. Something with at least 20g of protein.2 -
It's good with pork rinds!1

I tend to have
quiche
veggie fingers (fake fish fingers no fishy taste)
vegetarian sausages (not a vegetarian but they are way less fat but still filling).
Chicken with various marinades0 -
An apple.
Honestly though, for me the whole point of having a salad is to save the calories I'd use up on bread or whatnot...0 -

Sometimes I'll use a Wasa Rye Cracker or two for a little crunch. Especially with tuna or egg salad. Slivered almonds or dried edamame is good as a crunchy topping for Asian style salads. I also love walnuts or pecans on a salad with fruit & blue cheese. And corn chips on taco salads.0

I try to load my salads with protein- hard boiled eggs, cooked chicken or turkey, and sometimes a small amount of cheese. If I need some crunch, I typically add almonds or sunflower seeds or crunchy veggies.0

Couscous with some kind of herbs or seasoning plus a few bits of chicken breast.0
