How do you prepare your salad ?

1 cup of marketside romaine salad. Then I add 1 tbsp buttermilk ranch salad dressing along with 4 to 6 oz of meat, normally leftovers from the night before. Typically grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, even turkey burger meat.0

This may also not be what you were thinking of, but it's one of my fave's lately:
APPLE SALAD
1 Crisp Apple
2 Tablespoon Raw Walnuts - chopped
1/2 cup Grapes (halved)
1-1/2 Stalks Celery
2 Tablespoons Reduced Fat Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
Wisk together the mayonnaise and lemon juice, and salt & pepper, until combined.
Cut celery and apple into small squares. Toss all ingredients with dressing and serve 1 of 2 waysL in 1 large leaf of lettuce so you can wrap it and eat it, or with 0.5-1 cups shredded lettuce.
Makes 3 decent servings, each at approximately 120 calories
So refreshing!0 -

Baby arugula
1/4 cup candied walnuts (trader joe's)
either 1 heirloom tomato chopped (when in season)
OR 1 peach sliced (again if in season)
an ounce of semi hard goat cheese (such as midnight moon) thinly sliced
All tossed with Champagne Pear Vignaigrette (also Trader Joe's) and seasoned with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
Sometimes I add in roasted beets instead of the peach/tomato and if I have leftover roasted chicken breast I throw some of that in there as well. Lol.
Love arugula.0 -

My two favourites (I don't actually measure everything, just to give an idea of the portion size):
2-3 cups mixed greens
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced onions
1 potato, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick
3-4 ounce salmon fillet, skin on
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
Dressing of choice (I like Kraft Fig and Balsamic)
Place the salmon fillet and potato slices on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle potatoes lightly with olive oil. Season fish and potatoes with salt and pepper. Bake at 425 degrees until cooked. Turn potatoes halfway through.
Lightly saute mushrooms and onions in a frying pan with a tiny bit of oil. Saute until nice and brown.
Put greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red peppers in a bowl. Add mushroom and onion mixture over top. Add potatoes. Remove salmon from skin in large chunks and add. Dress and eat.
2-3 cups mixed greens or spinach
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup diced red peppers
1 plum, cut into thin wedges
2 eggs, medium to hard boiled
Dressing of choice
Combine and eat. Delish.0 -

I like this thread. I'm going to steal some of these ideas.
Lately I've been using:
1 cup Baby spinach
1/2 Cucumber
5 Cherry tomato halved
1/2 cup Alfalfa sprouts
1/8 cup Sunflower seeds
1/2 Avocado
Dressing: 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp Bragg's liquid aminos.
And for dinner I'll throw some grilled chicken into it. Yum. Love salad! :-)0 -
I just had this salad for lunch:
Romaine
Cucumber

Sunflower Seeds
Grilled Chicken Breast

All of these look so good!
A favorite of mine:
sliced granny smith apples
chopped romaine (coarse)
craisins
feta cheese
dressing: (serving size for 1)
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tbsp olive oil
3 tsp honey (warm up the bottle in a saucepan first so it whisks well, not too hot!)
drizzle the dressing over the freshly combined salad and toss. YUM!0 -
Baby spinach
Walnuts
Chicken or salmon
Craisins
Pears
Onions
Salad peppers (Mt. Olive makes 'em)
Basalmic vinaigrette that I make myself
If you want a leaf-less salad, try:
Chickpeas
Edamame
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Italian Dressing
(add baby shrimp if you want)0
