I often eat a salad because it doesn't make me feel too full and sleepy after lunch. Here's a great way to start making salads:

Regarding what to do with lettuce to keep it from going bad - I leave the lettuce on the bunch until I'm actually preparing the salad. Then I wash it and air dry it a bit before making the salad. There are plenty of tips online on how to store salad in the fridge to prevent it from going bad, so look into these if you plan to prepare ahead.0 -
I make all our lunches (we're a family of 4) right after dinner... I am already in the kitchen and then there is one clean up to do after (dishes, etc..)
On Sundays, I prepare soups and meals for the week - I did post a cabbage soup recipe which is really awesome!
I just posted a cabbage soup recipe, too! Can I have yours?
Here you are dear:
6 shallots
2 green peppers (diced)
1 28 oz.can diced tomatoes (no salt added)
3 carrots diced
1 whole bunch celery (diced)
1 head of cabbage (diced)
2 tbsp chicken soup base
1 48oz can low sodium tomatoe juice
2 tsp basil, 2 tsp oregano and 1 tsp black pepper
8 cups water
saute the shallots in the bottom of a large pot (with Pam cooking spray) until they are clear. Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer until veggies are tender.0 -

I have a basic salad that I make every day - and then I add protein - mostly from whatever I cooked the night before (chicken, steak, shrimp) - or eggs, can of tuna, some ham.....
Oh - and I also keep a bit of my vegetables from the night before to add to the salad....
I pack everything for the salad the night before - so just have to take all the little bits to work and put it all together on the day....
Here is an example of what my salad would look like - and the ingredients:
