    honey mustard and italian mixed together

    lettuce, olives, pickles, tomatoes, cottage cheese.
    avocado, hard boiled egg.
    handmade croutons.

    sometimes i'll throw a grilled piece of meat on it. (hamburger is my favorite)
    or taco meat! and sour cream!

    or even just sauteéd broccoli/zucchini/brussels sprouts

    yum.

    I love all sorts of salads... the most important part is planning because no one wants shredded ice burg for lunch!

    One simple salad is arugula with grated parmesan (I use soy) cheese and a little drizzle of olive oil. Delicious!

    Another mix I like is mixed greens with mandarin oranges, cucumber, chick peas, and black beans with a low fat Italian dressing.

    Another is mixed greens with grilled portobello mushrooms, grapes, broccoli and corn.

    Ooh, I also like a chiken ranch salad-- I make mine with a homemade ranch and Morning Star Chicken Starters (I'm vegan) with olives and salsa.

    All of these are super simple and yummy!

    ETA: I forgot my favorite... a taco salad. Super yummy and filling.
