Any good ideas to make salad extra tasty

Also, I love hard boiled eggs on salads!

lucky for me my kids love fruits and veggies so we play with it a lot..

try cut oranges and red onion with toasted sesame seeds and rice vinegarette on spinach or greens

strawberries...mmmmmm
beets, almonds and a little soft goat cheese
apples and asparagus with a blue cheese dressing (I can post the dressing recipe if wanted)
tuna salad with dates....no dressing needed
dried fruit and nuts
garbanzo beans with toasted pine nuts, feta cheese and cherry tomatoes (theres a dressing for this too) (not usually served on greens but could be tasty)
beets with chopped almonds or walnuts, a sprinkle of blue cheese and red wine vinegarette
blueberries / blackberries / raspberries with sweetened red onion and a raspberry vinegarette
jicama is great in salads, kind of sweet
chopped tri color bell peppers with dressing of choice or a spicy ranch
chopped melon with finely chopped mint and a white balsamic dressing

ok, so I guess what I am saying is as far as salads go anything goes!

I like to find anything low cal or no cal to add into my salads. Any spices you like will work and often I make my own dressing to avoid salt but still have a powerful taste.

I will go with grilled chicken for the meat most of the time and if I am in a sweet mood add apples, bananas, nuts, mandrine oranges, tomatoe, etc. Even if your fruit has a little more calorie you still need to get your fruits in for the day. This is a fun way to help the sweet craving. I have a great Rasberry dressing to put over my sweet salad.

Other times I might feel like tuna and put that on top of lettuce, tomatoe, and any other vegie I can find in the fridg. Basalmic Ving. is usually my favorite here.

I have a pan to bake flour tortillas so I can do a taco salad. The meat I use ground beef adding onion jalapeno garlic then when it is browned I add chili powder and a can of pinto beans and about 2 tbs of salsa. Then I add a serving of taco meat to my bed of lettece in my tortilla bowl and add tomatoes, a little cheedar cheese with a salsa dressing.

Almost always I like a little jalapeno dice mixed in.

There are SO MANY variations of fruits, nuts, vegies to make a HUGE salad and very low calorie. I have been filling up one Salads and not tire of them yet.
