I've been debating sharing this so, since someone asked, here is my favorite salad. I want to start by saying anything can be tweaked or left out. This is just the way I usually make it.
2.5 cups green or red leaf lettuce
.5 cup diced cucumber (I leave the skin on)
.3 cup red or yellow or orange sweet bell pepper
3-5 scallions (green onions)
1 Tbsp minced jalapeno
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
Dressing:
2 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
1 packet stevia
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp to 1 Tbsp (depending on my calories available) Sesame oil (or none)
(you can use seasoned vinegar and leave out the stevia, it's a little different but close. I like it with the stevia and unseasoned because there are no calories)
I usually put the vinegar and stevia in the microwave for about 25 seconds because the stevia does not dissolve readily. Don't forget to let it cool a bit)
I also like to toast 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds for the top of the salad. Just toss them in a frying pan and put them on the burner until they are golden brown. I've also toasted raw walnuts and tossed them on top.
I've had this salad as is or with a can of albacore tuna, canned shrimp, leftover chicken, pork, or beef. Anything seems to be good with it. It has a hint of Asia to it. Hope you enjoy.0 -
mmmm sounds real good. i've been eating salads for lunch lately. i usually eat it with blue cheese crumbles or feta, romaine lettuce (i don't like spinach), kidney or garbanzo beans, carrots, tomato, fat free croutons. I also eat some with baby corn, olives, and chicken. Or hard boiled eggs and avacado (I don't have all that together, overload!)
dressing i like fat free raspberry or red-wine vinegrette, lo-fat ranch, or an olive oil and vinegar combo.
They usally fill me up. But...bad thing is if i'm out at a restarunt or going out to eat, last thing I want to eat is any kind of salad. lol. Especially since I eat it at work.0 -
1 chicken breast dry fried/sauteed with spices
1 bunch of Kale, chopped
Garlic
Diced carrots
Diced red onion
Turkey bacon (2-3 pieces)
Make the chicken and place on the side to cool down
Fry up the turkey bacon and when it is done, mix in the rest of the ingredents until the kale is slightly wilted
Shred up or chop up the chicken breast and add to salad
You can add low fat low calorie dressing too but the flavor of this salad is enough! its amazing!0 -
Caprese. The BEST.
And also a wedge of iceberg with a really good bleu cheese.0 -

Dressing is usually a low fat mayo (only a little) and I sometimes throw in fresh basil too.

Spring Onion
Feta
Black Olives
Stuffed Pimento green olives

Now I want a salad... And I never normally do at home. All my favourite salads have been from this one pub out in the English countryside. The polenta croutons were amazing!0
