Lately I have been buying the pre-made bags of coleslaw and low fat dressing.

I found it is a nice change from just lettuce :)

Baby spinach makes a wonderful salad.

i sometimes use broccoli as a salad base. i microwave it and let it cool, then mix it up with other salad ingredients and dressing. bonus: lots more nutrients than lettuce!

Have you ever tried Broccoli Slaw or Rainbow Salad? (They are the same thing) I love eating it! It's crunchier and very filling! It's the broccoli stalk shredded with carrots and some other stuff like red cabbage. I put a little Parmesan cheese and Light Done Right Ranch on it and it's de-lish! :)

I just found the brocoli slaw at the market and have been really happy to figure out what to do with the stalks my daughter won't eat. Now I just trim the brocoli really close before I microwave it for her and then run the stalks through the shredder on the food processor. It is really crunchy and a great find. Added to carrots and cabbage it is great.

Salad in general is improved by anything but iceberg, I like any lettuce but. Also, there is no rule about salad having to have lettuce at all. It could be grated zuchinni, mushrooms, beets, carrots anything.
