What do you put in your salads?

BarnStar · January 2009

I need to start eating better, and I want to take some salads to work this week. I can't eat peppers or cucumbers (horrible indigestion). I'm thinking lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cheese, croutons, bacon crumbles and a hard boiled egg. Sound good or should I add some more?

Sounds good to me. Sometimes I add ham, turkey or chicken as well.

Sounds delicious to me. I love a good salad. Shame it's winter... wee baby zuchini sliced very thin are super yummy in salads.

Oh yeah! I love all that, plus I add avocado, cold potatoes, fresh corn cut off the cob, shredded carrots, cranberries, pecans, or leftovers - today I had some of the chicken taco meat I had leftover from dinner with some lowfat jack cheese and lime on mine. Yum.

I might be weird, but I love sliced almonds in my salads.

Sounds very yummy. I also sometimes add ham and chickpeas.

Ooooo! I LOVE chickpeas! Also, if you use vinaigrette dressing, you could add dried cranberries---they're delish, and make a wonderful sweet contrast to the tart/sour flavor of the dressing.

i like to add some sort of bean (kidney, chick pea, etc.). before GD, i also loved dried cranberries in my salads. and nuts, i need something crunchy too.

If you want to change it up once and awhile, I've added craisins (especially good in spinach salads), almonds, black beans or chickpeas, sunflower seeds and I sometimes crush saltines in place of croutons. (all of this with ranch dressing of course!)
