I don't care for much lettuce and often don't have any in my salads. Spinach and other greens, carrot coins, mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado, and any other fresh vegetable/fruit I have about, with whatever toasted nuts I have. Most salad dressings are either too sweet or too thick, so I water them down. A side of crispy sour dough with garlic or cheese is nice.0

Greek salad with shrimp or chicken or my favourite is taco salad - lots of greens, salsa, ground spiced beef and sour cream - lovely!!0

I usually have a salad w/ a mixture of veggies, example: Romaine, spinach, kale, chard, red cabbage, tomatoes, onion, zucchini, broccoli, banana peppers or jalapenos, snap peas, shredded carrots, cucumber. Salad Dressing I use is Ken's raspberry walnut vinaigrette, balsamic vinegar w/ squeeze of lemon juice or Herdez Gucamole Salsa. Soup: Lentil, split pea, veggie, minestrone, black bean soup etc.0

Pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds) are delicious and crunchy.2

I really like Blue Diamond's Nut Thins. Lots of varieties. I like the almond Ranch, almond Honey Cinnamon, and almond Honey Mustard. Very tasty and a serving is 130ish calories and substantial.

I'll have a snack about 2-3 hours later. Something with at least 20g of protein.

I'll typically put something with some crunch or a good chew to my salad. Or I'll do a smaller salad with less impact and have a half sandwich.0

I pack a salad twice a week and because if I do it everyday I get so sick of it. I make a monster vegetable salad with LTO, Hard Boiled Eggs, Cheddar, Matchstick carrots give it a nice crunch. It's simple but satisfying.0

I had big *kitten* salads all week, lettuce, corn, green and red peppers, chicken breast, sour cream, seasonings, balsamic and dressing. I bought tortilla strips for the salad, but left them on the table everyday0

I usually pair a sandwich with a salad, sometimes a hamburger [making it as lean as possible].0

We had salad again tonight, with sides of turkey bacon and a boiled egg.0

At the moment I am addicted to rice cakes, lightly salted. They are 35 calories for one cake… Also, OP, salads can have hidden calories so just be careful!0
