    Spinach
    Tomatoes
    Trader Joe's Fat Free Feta
    Splash of balsamic vinegar

    Whatever's in the house. I often try for:

    1 leaf (arugula, spinach, lettuce)
    1 nut (almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, sesame or pumpkin seeds [I know])
    1 cheese (ff feta, goat, parmesan)
    1 fruit (cranberry, apple, pomegranate, persimmon)
    1+ protein (tofu, chicken, avocado, chickpea, roast beef, leftover pork from last night)
    +whatever veggies are in the fridge: roasted root veggies, bell pepper, carrots
    balsamic vinegar + olive oil.

    organic baby greens
    juicy strawberries
    feta cheese or crumbled goat cheese
    lightly candied walnuts or pecans
    newman's light balsamic dressing

    In the winter I do asian pears, dried cherries, or dried cranberries instead of the strawberries.

    ...I like slightly sauteed:
    red onion
    green pepper
    chick peas
    aparagus
    carrots
    brocolli
    over a bed of raw spinach...with a little kraft free italian or vineger and oil
  • Okay, so I tried this Salad at a place called, Brio in the states and absolutely fell in love with it! Now I mimic it on my own and have it about once a week. It has: "Mixed greens tossed with grilled chicken, mushrooms, bacon, almonds, Gorgonzola cheese, apples, dried cranberries, crispy lavoush and Tuscan Italian dressing." I make mine without the bacon, because I don't eat pork, but you can use Turkey bacon in it. I substitute light feta cheese for the Gorgonzola and I grill my own chicken. I keep the dressing on the side (which in mine is an apple cider vinegar based homemade one -yum). It's really just the best mixture I've ever had and it's perfect for days when you want a lighter dinner.

    New Fave I made for NYE dinner :

    Butter Lettuce
    Grapefruit segments
    avocado
    red onion
    drizzle of olive oil
    rice wine vinegar

    I also make a BLT salad ( I make it with fake bacon but you can use bacon if you wanna

    romaine lettuce
    roma tomatoes
    1/2 tbsp light may0 mixed in
    Fake bacon ( or real if you want) torn into pieces while still warm (toss so mayo becomes more of a dressing. ) pretty good

    or finally

    blue cheese crumbles
    diced pear
    baby spinach
    rice wine vinegar
    pomegranate or cranberry juice concentrate
