In an effort to lose more weight..I am trying to eat more salads. Do you have a favorite SALAD combo that my seem unusual but is really quite good?

Here is mine.

Spinach
Romaine Lettuce
Peppered Turkey (cut in cubes)
Blueberries (I know...but it is so good)
1/2 Avacado (peeled of course)
Parm cheese
Sunflower seeds (about tblespoon)

No dressing is necessary...just make sure to get a blueberry or avacado piece with each bite. Really Good!

Oh that sounds yummy!

I like to put the following in my salads:

Romaine lettuce
Spinach
Hard Boiled Egg
Sesame Seeds
Chow Mein Noodles
Blue Cheese Crumbles
1 TBS Blue Cheese Dressing

I know it's not alot but the taste is incredible.

I like taco salads!

I use lettuce, low-fat cheddar (or mexican blend already shredded) and lean turkey instead of ground beef, cooked according to taco seasoning package. I think I am making that for dinner tomorrow night.

Otherwise, I like salad with crab, shrimp, any kind of fish, chicken, steak, you name it... I either put on some low-fat or fat-free italian dressing (Safeway carries some in little packets so you have a premeasured amount) or I just dump garlic powder, seasoning salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash and parm cheese on it.

I also like grated cheese on my salads in general, even if there is no meat at all.

mmmm, i have so many, but here is my favorite!

Romaine
cukes
red pepper
raisins
grape tomatoes
lite blue cheese crumbles
hot, grilled chicken
paul newmans lite balsalmic dressing

sooo good!

How could I forget my sunflower seeds?
