What do you put in your salads?

I couldn't finish my giant grilled T-bone at dinner last night, so I sliced up the leftovers and am eating that on a bed of chopped iceberg lettuce, baby spinach, chopped yellow and green peppers, tomato, and a few hot pepper rings.

I also like a "Santa Fe" salad with topped shredded chicken, grilled corn, and black beans.

Red onions, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. With the avocado, I don't need any dressing.

Wilted Spinach Salad
Combine 2 cups (3 oz) baby spinach, 1/4 cup red onion, and 1 TB crumbled bacon in large bowl.
Mix 2 TB vinegar, 1-1/2 tsp water, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp black pepper and heat until sugar dissolves. Pour over spinach salad and toss.
Put salad on plate and garnish with 1 hard boiled egg, sliced
205 calories - 19g carbs, 7g fat, 13g protein, 848 mg sodium, 16g sugar, 2g fiber

Forgot to add, if you want to do so, you can substitute 1 tsp olive oil + 1/2 tsp water for the 1-1/2 tsp water in the dressing. That would result in: 245 calories; 19g carbs, 12g fat, 13g protein, 848 mg sodium, 16g sugar, 2g fiber

I'm a basic gal: black olives, cucumber, grape tomatoes, boiled egg white, carrots, red wine vinegar, croutons, sometimes salmon or tuna, and balsamic vinegar, or Walden Farms Calorie Free Dressing

Depends on what type I'm having. Here's my almost daily lunch salad:
greens
sliced mushrooms
goat cheese
blackberries
raspberries
blueberries
strawberries (getting the picture here?!)
some form of protein usually low sodium ham from the deli, grilled chicken breast or leftover steak
likewise use balsamic vinegar for dressing (GOOD vinegar)


Other days I might do a taco salad type thing and add
chickpeas
avocado
salsa
cheddar cheese
black beans
shredded pork or chicken

Somedays spinach salad
spinach
hard boiled eggs
purple onion
bacon bits (real bacon)
craisins
balsamic vinegar

Hope these help

I am borning haha

Raw Spinach and Arugula
Almonds
Balsamic Vinegar
Cucumbers sliced really thin
Diced tomatos
Diced strawberries

Sometimes I'll turn mine into a meal.

Brown some ground turkey or chicken or Morningstar veggie crumbles, spice to taste, and add some frozen corn near the end of the cooking. Scoop some onto a heaping plate of romaine lettuce. Add a couple of tablespoons of salsa and some yogurt.

The lettuce (in addition to being good for you) and the frozen corn provide a satisfying crunch and serves as a corn chip replacement. It's really good.

New favorite - Salad Stop! I go with spinach, spring mix, and romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, black beans, corn, pepper mix, artichokes, sprouts, cucumber, and either tuna or chicken. If I go with tuna I add asian sesame dressing, with chicken I opt for Franks Red Hot and chipolte and have it chopped all together. Either way its fantastic!

Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, tortilla strips, and sometimes a little crab meat or chicken.

Tomato, Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Crutons, Bacon Bits, Cucumber, Pepper, Celery & Dressing usually unless im out of something
lol

cottage cheese, pickled beets, pickles, nuts, seeds - not all at the same time.

Nuts/seeds - almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds
Fruit - mandarin orange slices, strawberries, raspberries, chopped Granny Smith apples
Meat - chicken
Greens - baby spinach, red lettuce, green lettuce, romaine lettuce, arugula
Cheese - feta, goat cheese, swiss, Gruyere, fresh parmesan

I hate salad dressing (can't stand anything wet on my salad - yuck!) but I discovered salad spice a few months back. The one that comes with the Dole Endless Summer salad kit is amazing!

I eat horrible boring salalds - baby spinah, romaine lettuce, baby kale, carrots, celery and snap peas.
