93/7 ground beef, taco seasoned, lettuce, tomatoes, shredded mexican cheese, crumbled whole grain taco shells, and sour cream and salsa for dressing.
Shrimp cooked in 1/8 cup soy sauce, 1/2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp red cooking wine, ground ginger, black pepper, garlic then remove the shrimp, mix 1/2 tsp corn starch with a little water and cook into sauce until slightly thickened, use this as your dressing over lettuce, mandarin orange segments and a few crunchy chow mein noodles.
London broil grilled and tossed with fresh crumbled bleu cheese and lettuce, I like balsamic basil vinagrette and croutons with it.
Enjoy!!!0 -
I like to have grilled chicken, strawberry, mandarin oranges and sliced almonds. I used spinach for the base salad. My favorite dressing with this is light poppy-seed dressing but a raspberry vinaigrette is also tasty.0

-Waldorf

Best salad I ever ate had unidentified greens, grilled chicken, mandarin oranges, little cubes of apples, raisins, sunflower seeds, a little feta cheese and an unidentified dressing. When I tried to make it at home, I used regular lettuce cause that's what I had, pomegranate seeds instead of oranges, and a bit of poppyseed dressing and it was still delicious...0

My best friend comes up with the best salad ideas. She often just tosses together what she has lying around. The other day we ate spinach salads with pecans, pears, goat cheese, and dried cherries with a little bit of olive oil and vinegar. Delicious.0

you dont need dressing as it creates its own silky finish.
Add grilled chicken if you like!0 -

Lunch today is taco salad. Left over taco meat, cheese, salsa, ranch. I like the heat up the meat before I throw it all the salad. Makes it seem more like a real meal to me.0

Thanks for all these ideas! They sound delicious! I am excited to try them... I am running to the store now to get some of the ingredients
Thanks!0 -
I loooooove grilled salmon on spinach with strawberries... or pork tenderloin. Whatever meat we are having for dinner I always try to make into a big salad for me... and add fruit to it. Spinach is my favorite to use... and I always keep grape tomatoes, carrots, sprouts, and cabbage on hand to put on salads. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and diced apples are my favorite fruit on a salad. And I always use balsamic vingerette. Mmmm... I'm getting hungry thinking about it!0

Even my two year old loves this simple spinach salad recipe:
2 parts balsamic vinegar
1 part olive oil
1 part soy sauce (we use the gluten free)
1-2 minced or crushed garlic.
Fresh spinach leaves
I usually make the salad, then put the finishing touches on the rest of the dinner. By the time everything is ready the spinach leave have wilted just a touch, and are delectable!0 -
I tried this yesterday. It was delicious:
Ingredients:
Lettuce - Red leaf, raw, 0.5 head
Granny Smith Apple - Medium Whole With Skin, 1 each
Cucumber - With peel, raw, 0.5 cup slices
Sliced - Baby Bella Mushrooms , 1/2 cup
Marie's - Creamy Ranch Dressing, 2 Tbsp

Calories Per Serving: 147
You probably want 2 servings for a lunch salad, at minimum. i would add a protein to it, e.g. egg or chicken if you are having only the salad for a meal.0
