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).4

I love salads. I really love to put all kinds of things in my salads such as cilantro, grapes, red peppers, slices of orange, apple, pears. I love spinach, romaine lettuce, spring mixes, etc. along with the usual cucumber, tomatoes, and spring onions. I mix fresh lemon juice with EVOO and use it as a dressing, sometimes add a little honey. I put chicken, tuna, turkey with it for the protein part mostly, rarely cheese as I am lactose intolerant and only do well with hard aged cheeses. I find salads in most restaurants can be really lacking, I love the places that put a lot of effort into the salad ingredients.
What things do other people like to add to their salads?5 -
My wife thinks I'm crazy that I enjoy salads without salad dressing. But not only have I not found one which I enjoy the taste, let alone the calories, but I actually like tasting the individual flavors inside the salad.6

Love my salads. Have a huge one pretty much every single day and have for years!6

I pack a giant salad almost every day for work:-)5

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!2 -
Salads can be a divine chock full of vitality, tastes or a big bowl of empty hi calorie stuff! Classically a " salad" would be a healthy option. I have a salad- left greens at least once a day! My favorite is spring mix, steamed broccoli, cauliflower, tri colored carrots, few sun dried tomatoes, grilled red peppers, artichokes, few black olives, cooked mushrooms, watermelon radishes, tempeh or tofu chunks, nutritional yeast, Braggs aminos and Good Foods plant based dip!!5

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).0 -
I love food!
Love salad with romaine, arugula, radish, bell pepper, red onion, sliced strawberries, chopped pecans, blue cheese crumbles and strawberry vinaigrette.3 -
What?? You mean salad isn't just lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers??
Some of these look and sound absolutely off-the-charts amazing!!!
Can anyone share what their favorite salads have calorie-wise?0 -
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.3

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.1
