Agree the WF...did not do much for me either! Found rice vinegar and olive oil OK...began adding spicy mustard to that to make a mustard vinaigrette ..that was good. Then found olive oil and fresh squeeze of lemon or line with fresh pepper...liked that a lot and it was easy to get in a restaurant.

My biggest surprise was that I like Brussels sprouts. I steam them first, then sauté in evoo with garlic and salt until the outsides are brown. They're really good.

Trying this salad dressing tonight - looks delicious.

I go through fits and starts with salads. There will be days where I cannot get enough lettuce and greens and others where I do not feel like crunching on my veggies. That's where I find having homemade soup available helps. It allows me to put my greens into a soup and eat them that way.

Try roasting the sprouts in the oven. Cut them in halves or quarters, shake in a bag with a little olive oil, salt, pepper & spices. SO good. Roasted cauliflower or broccoli is delicious, too. I'm starting to get used to this!

I feel your pain 'cause I hate iceberg lettuce with a passion. I experimented and tried different types of lettuce and leafy greens. Have you tried romaine with shredded purple cabbage? I also like field greens. Sometimes I mix in some fresh kale. Another lettuce you might try is arugula. It is peppery. I love it with cucumbers and red peppers. It is also wonderful with watermelon radishes or even on its own. They are so pretty when they are cut because they look like a watermelon and they are mild. I make most of my own dresses because I don't care for most of the WF or creamy dressings in general even though I do use them occasionally.

Chop some fresh herbs and add them to your greens. Try fresh basil in the greens or cilantro.

Try pre-shredded angel hair cabbage as a base for salad. There are no carrots in that mix.

Thai style dressing: I use a tsp of grape see oil, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 TBP lime juice, 1 stevia or splenda packet, and a tsp of fresh ginger and a tsp of fresh chopped cilantro.

Other dressings I like: Lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic make a nice dressing. Sometimes, I will mix apple cider vinegar, dill, olive oil, salt, pepper, and splenda.

Keep at it, you'll find something you like.

All good ideas! Just remember to count the cabbage, arugula, field greens, etc. as part of your veggies - only lettuce (iceberg, romaine, butter, etc.) is a "free" food.

I think I may try this for breakfast tomorrow, thanks for the recipe!

Im not sure if you have tried it yet, but WF has a Chipotle Ranch, its not great but it might suffice to calm your Ranch flavor craving.
