    When I had access to a salad bar at lunch, all I ate were giant salads (to the point that my now-husband thought I didn't eat meat when we were first dating). I've forgotten how much I enjoyed them, but I've gone back to eating them the past two weeks and loving how I feel (less post-lunch drag).

    My favorite salads are a Persian cucumber salad and a southwest style salad with avocado, corn, and beans.

    I also love a Thai salad with shrimp!

    I love to eat salads but I hate making them - so much prep!

    This is my favorite salad when I feel like putting in the effort - the dressing is AMAZING: https://minimalistbaker.com/roasted-vegetable-salad-with-chimichurri/

    Love salads,in part bc I also find them a super quick meal option, especially if I have some kind of protein (like hard boiled eggs or shredded chicken or skirt steak) ready to add. The longest portion is typically if I decide to roast or sautee some veg that I'm desiring to add.

    If one doesn't like available dressings, it's super easy to make one's own. I generally have, even before I cared about cals (although there are tons of low cal premade dressings).

    What?? You mean salad isn't just lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers?? :wink:

    Some of these look and sound absolutely off-the-charts amazing!!!
    Can anyone share what their favorite salads have calorie-wise?

    I love salads! I like to take what normally would go in a bun or bread and put it on mixed greens and other veggies... fills me up pretty decently.

    I've been on a real salad kick the last week or so. At least one meal a day is some kind of salad. Spicy quinoa with tomatos/red onions/black beans for dinner tonight. Tastes kind of like a taco but without meat.
