Answer 3

Make sure you buy a variety of lettuce, like romaine, ice burg, arugula, spinach, and dandelion. They all have different flavors, some tend to be spicy, and some are earthy and nutty. You can mix nuts, even fruits, with your salads.

The healthiest of salads become fattening when you kill it with dressing. Make your own at home. Use olive oil, red wine vinegar, and/or lemon.

Good luck on your new diet!

Answer 6

Try Lettuce, Cucumber, Tomatoes with Grated Carrot over

Answer 7

lettuce, celery, carrotts, peppers, mushrooms

try to stay away from fried ingredients, sweet ingredients, cream yingredients and/or too much oil and/or salad dressings

a typical caesar salad has as many if not more calories than a BIG Mac, dont let the title "salad" fool you into thinking its healthy

Answer 8

my 2 favorite lite salads:
(both of these contain feta cheese - it contains a little fat but packs a HUGE flavor punch, so you don't need so much dressing).

Greek Makes-Its-Own-Dressing Salad
mix chopped bell pepper, chopped green onion, crumbled feta cheese, chopped cucumber, chopped light ham, 1 tsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, and 1 tbsp. oil. cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. the liquids from the cheese and veggies will mix with the vinegar and oil and make a great dressing, with all the toppings mixed in. spoon the liquid and toppings over your choice of greens for a great salad.

Super-Yummy Salad
baby spinach, field greens, halved seedless red grapes, walnuts, chopped pears (rub with vinegar to keep from turning brown), feta cheese. dress with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste.

Answer 9

These are two of my favorite:

Romain lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese and Italian dressing, as a base, and you can add other stuff to taste.

Tuna, lite mayo(not a lot) to the tuna and mayo add, some mixed veggies. you can place the tuna and veggies over lettuce, no dressing needed.

Good luck with your diet.

Answer 10

I prefer just a sprinkling of lettuce, spinach, snap peas, onion, sprouts, black olives, and fresh grilled tuna steak cut up on top.

Answer 11

rice... catalina salad dressing ... and peas with shrimp.
