What do you put in your salads?

I had one today with grilled onions, chicken and lettuce... Salads are really versatile... just experiment with different toppings (avocados, any type of meat, soybeans, nuts, ground flax seed, berries, etc)

Mine usually has bell pepper, mushroom, cucumber, tomato. i'll add cheese, shrimp, boiled egg or avocado if i'm feeling adventurous. i prefer spinach or arugula over other greens.

I put tons of stuff in mine, well not all at once but there's almost endless options for salads!

fresh veggies such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers,tomatoes...

Fruits! More specifically berries such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries

Can also put tree nuts, avocado, dried cranberries, cheese,chicken,kale...the options are virtually endless!

My favorites - tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower. Even better if I have a diced up hard-boiled egg, maybe even some chicken breast. Mmmm.

my fork! ... umm on top of my salad the usual culprits, tomato, cucumber, maybe some slivered plain blanched almonds, a can of tuna, celery, red wine vinegar and olive oil or light balsalmic, instead of tuna, some baked boneless skinless chicken tenders, and then I will use wishbone light buffalo ranch dressing.

Usually sweet peppers and romaine lettuce for dinner.

Lunch today was romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, and strawberries. Yummm!

typically romaine, grape tomatoes (this week i'm actually using an heirloom mix of cherry tomatoes to change it up a bit), cucumber, sunflower kernels. then every week i try to change it up a bit by sometimes adding avocado, bell pepper, carrots, radishes - whatever strikes my fancy when i'm grocery shopping that week. I try to change up the dressings too - i'm picky about "fat free" dressings but i love fat free catalina, there's also a lemon vinaigrette i found that i like and a soy sesame ginger vinaigrette (sometimes when i use that, i use nappa cabbage instead of romaine and make it like an asian slaw). and sometimes i just use balsamic vinegar and no oil instead of salad dressing.

Tuna, red bell pepper slices, tomatoes, cayenne pepper, cucumbers, spinach, romaine, and dressing.

Or ground beef (with taco seasoning), black beans, salsa, avocado, lime juice, romaine, cheddar cheese.

Greek- feta, olives, tomatoes, red onion

Caprese- fresh mozarella, fresh basil, red onions, fennel

spinach- spinach, boiled eggs (whites), mushrooms, bacon, red onions

these are my go to salads

baby carrots, croutons, shredded cheese, light dressing, almonds

What I would like to know is how everyone records their food when they are making a soup or salad with so many ingredients. It takes so long to input everything on the salad or everything in the vegetable soup when you have a lot of ingredients; you can't just type in soup or salad, because the calorie count would not be accurate. Soups and salads can be a very low or very high calorie count.

So far, I have found some homemade soups with certain veggies in them on the food list, and I just use it, even if I don't have exactly the same veggies in my soup. Any other ideas?

I make larger quantities and yes, I log each ingredient into "My Recipes" but then just choose one serving of it at a time until it's gone, then delete it.
