kelsey here ---> your salads sound amazing and healthy...
everyone else on this thread are so fattening!!!
Wow that's really nice to put down others that are just trying to share their ideas. Just b/c there is fat in something does not mean its unhealthy. Our bodies need some fat in our diets. Someone might appreciate salad suggestions that help get in some fat in their day.
sorry you are right... didn't mean to offend anyone - just didn't want to promote the myth that salads are healthy.... it depends what you have in them0 -

I understand, there is just a nicer way to let people know that they should look at the nutritional info for the whole recipe and decide if it's right for them and their goals. :-). Hope I didn't offend you either, the comment just came off as very abrupt.0 -
Taco meat, tomatos, black olives, black beans and fat free sour cream or plain greek yogurt mixes with salsa0

my default dressing is EVOO + raw vinegar + italian herbs. I love a Mexican salad, with guacamole, cilantro, jalapenos, and queso fresco... salsa to taste. Add left over meat and you're done.
I find that the less dressing the better now.
I sometimes go sweet with spinach, walnuts and sliced strawberries, mix a little maple syrup into a basic oil & vinegar dressing and it's a fun change.0 -
I'm low carb and getting into the fried cheese bits. crispy and delicious.0
-
tomorrow, i'm doing a "pizza" salad.... it's in my diary for tomorrow in the noon slot.... i'm not using dressing, so it's not too bad on calories...0
-
tuna with a little balsamic vinegar or shrimp
sometimes i crisp some turkey bacon, onions, cucumber0 -
oh, and one more thing.... i REALLY like the Tuna Creations foil pouches. the tuna is flavored and when i add it to a bed of greens, i swear there is no dressing needed. Lemon-pepper and Smoked Hickory are my two faves, and i pair the tuna and greens with cucumbers, red onion, and tomatoes.....0

What is in a pizza salad????0
-
I like salad pizazz (sold at Walmart) with Newman's light raspberry and walnut salad dressing but it's kinda like having candy on top of your baby spinach!0
-
Cold chicken or pork, Romaine, hard boiled egg cut up or chopped, yellow onion slices or chopped, cucumber, and top it with red wine vinegar and some black pepper. Very low-cal and filling.0

I love green olives, fat free Italian and croutons! It's simple but so delish!0

I like picking a cuisine and basing my salad ingredients around that ie:
Italian- Figs (warm or cold) rocket (arugula) with balsamic vinegar and proscuitto ham (or any ham of your choice).
Thai- Cooked chicken breast, cucumber & carrot ribbons (done with a veg peeler), chopped spring onions (salad onions), bean sprouts and a dressing made with lime juice, rice vinegar, chopped fresh chilli, a dash of thai fish sauce, a pinch of sugar/splenda and water. Can be served with crushed roasted peanuts.
Morroccan- whole wheat cous cous cooked and mixed with a little harissa paste (you can use sundried tomato paste mixed with crushed chilli if you cannot get harissa), rocket (arugula), chick peas (Garbanzo), lemon juice, cubed cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes.
French- Hardboiled egg, tuna, salad leaves, black pitted olives, cooked chopped french beans in a light french dressing.
Middle Eastern: Cooked bulghar wheat, pomegranite seeds, parsley, lemon juice, cherry tomatoes, spring onions, cucumber.
Greek: Salad leaves, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, balck olives- dressing made with a little evoo, oregano/dill, black pepper and lemon juice.
Japanese- Edemame beans, cucumber, radish, carrot, salad leaves and teryaki chicken/beef/prawns(shrimp) in a soy and mirin dressing.1 -
Bumping! Some of these ideas sound delicious.0

ALL TIME FAVORITE SALAD: Romaine lettuce, cucumber, chopped red bell pepper, shredded carrot, crumbled firm tofu, a tiny sprinkling of Daiya cheddar cheese, dried cranberries or cherries and sunflower seeds. You can thank me later.
I'm also a big fan of taco salads (taco filling made with TVP or lentils, onions, garlic, red bell pepper and seasoning), with avocado. Strips of marinated tempeh are also delicious atop any mound of salad greens, and crumbled firm tofu makes for a great feta "cheese".1 -
I love to cook up a pound of skinless, boneless chicken, or extra lean ground beef, fried up with some garlic, onions, salt, pepper, etc., to taste, then toss in a bottle of salsa. Then I scoop 1/4 of this on top of chopped greens, cucumber, peppers, and so on. Soooo yummy with the hot/cold combination, and I just keep the rest of the cooked mix in the fridge for three more salads (just reheat the topping in the microwave).0
