I am pregnant and I am craving salads. Does anyone have any interesting salad recipes for me?

Do you like Greek food ?? When I make this salad it disappears every time, even when I make a huge bowl.





Cut up raw veggies like:


Celery


Red Onion


Pepper (red or green or yellow)


Carrot


Cucumber


Tomato





Add:


1 can of drained baby corn or corn niblets


1 can of drained sliced black olives


1 pkg of crumbled feta cheese


Pour on the Kraft Greek Salad Dressing and you're done





If you want to make your own dressing, just mix some olive oil together with some lime or lemon juice and add some herbs like basil, oregano, cilantro and black pepper etc.


(garlic if you like it)


The best thing about this salad is that you can add or omit any of the ingredients depending on what you like, or have on hand, and it's still really good !!





This one sounds kind of odd but I love it:





12 slices bacon


1 head fresh broccoli, diced


1/2 head cauliflower, chopped


1/2 red onion, diced


3/4 cup sunflower seeds


1/2 cup Raisins or dried cranberries





* 1 cup miracle whip or mayo


* 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar


* 1/4 cup white sugar (I use less but the recipe calls for 1/4 cup)





DIRECTIONS





1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.


2. Combine the bacon, cauliflower, broccoli, onion, raisins and sunflower seeds .


3. Whisk together the salad dressing, vinegar and sugar. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate and allow to chill before serving.





You can also add cheese to this one too.I am pregnant and I am craving salads. Does anyone have any interesting salad recipes for me?

Chinese chicken salad is my favorite, all the salads are good though!
I am just a huge fan of the salads they have at Trader Joes. If you go there you will have so many unique choices! GOOD LUCK!
taco salad chicken salad slaw
I eat a lot of salads, you can pretty much throw in anything you want/like/have left-over in your fridge!





But as for real salad recipes:





One of my favorites lately is baby spinach with dried cranberries, slivered toasted almonds, and a raspberry vinaigrette. Some good add-ins for that salad are grilled chicken, crumbled feta cheese, grated carrot, orange slices or mandarin segments... Any or all of these, or whatever else sounds good to you!





My family's favorite broccoli salad is just cut up broccoli florets, crispy cooked and crumbled bacon, thinly chopped red onion and grated sharp cheddar cheese. For the dressing, just mix some mayo with sugar and white vinegar. This salad is even better the second day, so I always try to make it ahead of time.





Orange %26amp; Onion salad is good too. just slice and orange or two into segments, and save the juice in a bowl to make you dressing. A bed of romaine lettuce, orange segments, %26amp; very thinly sliced onion. For the dressing, take the orange juice you saved, add a splash of balsamic vinegar, salt %26amp; pepper, a bit of honey, and some olive oil. Whisk it all together, and it's done. This salad is really great with fish or seafood. If you want to make it into a meal serve it with shrimp, or scallops, or a grilled salmon fillet, etc...
l have a receipe that l make all of the time,, and it is all shredded in my food processor,,


carotts (a couple)


yellow and green zuchini (1 large each)


green and purple cabage (1/8-1/4 each)


onion (optional)


plus any other veggies you like.. eg. brocoili stems (hold lots of vitiams and taste good in salads..


Shred all of this together makes almost a slaw salad and top with you favorite dressing and it is really yummy
I love making a cold veggie salad.





A can of button mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, pea pods and chopped up green onion...(you can add or take away whatever you like!)


Chop up, and marinate in a bowl with italian dressing for 24 hours, stirring once or twice through the 24 hours.


Yum, serve cold. I always make this with burgers!





Fresh spring greens and sliced pears, toasted pine nuts and grated asaigio cheese with a vinegarete dressing...Yum.
I don't know how you feel about tuna, but put a can of it on some fresh spinache leaves, with some fresh carrots and red onions... and then try a ';light'; dressing to taste..
i like mixed greens with dried dates, blue cheese (i usually use the crumbles, but i guess you can't do unpasteurized cheese--could you do the dressing?), croutons, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper.





mixed greens with avocados and italian dressing (bonus if you mix the avocados and dressing--YUM!).





spinach with strawberries,mint, and walnuts with raspberry vinaigrette





mixed greens with chopped basil, sliced turkey, roasted red peppers, and pesto dressing (basil, parmesan, olive oil, and a little little bit of mayo or sour cream)
My boyfriend made up this simple salad a few weeks ago; I thought it was gonna be gross, but it was really good.


Green leaf lettuce


slivered carrots


cheddar cheese cut in very small cubes


raisins


Ken's honey mustard dressing
My two all time favortie salads are...they arent really anything that interesting though...but here they are anyways...





lettuce


carrots


chick peas


bacon bits


cucumbers


red onions


and ranch dressing! YUM





Greek salad


spring mix salad leafs


walnuts


red onions


feta cheese


black olives...YUM!

My daughter made a wonderful spinach salad the other day...... Fresh spinach (washed %26amp; cut up), with sliced fresh strawberries and lightly candied walnuts (stir the walnuts in a frying pan with 1/2 c. sugar, until the sugar is melted and they're coated). You can use a Balsamic Vignarette dressing, or store-bought Raspberry-Walnut Vignarette dressing. You can also substitute drained mandarin oranges for the strawberries.....
Simple Answer: All veggie.





Carrots - good for carotene which will help your fetus have healthy eyes.


Celery - good for reproductive system. Will help your fetus develop strong reproductive organs.


Yellow veggies - excellent for B complex vitamins





Get creative and just mix and match all veggies. Make a game out of it. My wife craved for ';meat'; during her pregnancies. She came up with some of the wildest recipes and presented me with more variety in serving meat during those times. We still laugh about it!





Be creative. Make it YOUR salad. Even if nobody else likes it. You can laugh about it years later.
