I use Butter lettuce and green leaf lettuce.
Add some feta cheese, kalamata olives and a olive oil/pesto dressing for a quick greek salad
Add chopped chicken, shredded cheese, some various fresh chopped veggies and low fat ranch dressing
Add chopped chicken or ground beef (cooked with taco seasoning) FF sour cream, taco sauce and shredded cheese for taco salad.
You can buy frozen stir fry mixes in the store, cook some of that up, put over lettuce add an asian style dressing, yummy.Salad diet? Any recipes?
fresh spinach, with chopped boiled eggs, bacon, your favorite cheese, some tomatoes and cucumbers and some ranch dressing is great.
CHOPPED SALAD WITH TUNA AND GARLIC
6 tbsps. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 red wine vinegar
1 minced garlic clove
1/2 head escarole, thinly sliced
1/2 head romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
2 (6 oz.) cans tuna packed in water, drained well

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, and garlic. Add the escarole, romaine, tuna, salt and pepper; toss all ingredients together well, and serve immediately. Serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as a side dish.
Here is a really delicious and simple salad:
Cut up half a tomato, a small cucumber, shredded carrots, about a half a cup of corn, and sunflower seeds. Drizzle on some olive oil and your ready to eat.
Have you tried a nice Caesar salad?
I have recently done the same as you trying to drop a few pounds and just eat more healthy in general. I now buy salads from fast food places instead of junk fast food. Wendys and Burger King have some pretty decent fresh salads.
omg'sh this is the best salad ever---brocolli, califlower, bacon, chunks of colby jack cheese, and pour on ranch...i can't say its the heathiest salad but its TO DIE for
use as base: roman lettuce, even some iceberg and any green salad available ( Best is this ';italian mix'; with lollo rosso etc. and some ';wild greens'; called ';mescul'; or smething like that).
Add cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, fresh herbs like basil, colliander etc.
Add grilled chicken strips or boiled egg or cheese or... (never all together then you will end up eating very unhealthy !)
For dressing simple: olive oil, lemon or white vinegar, salt + pepper
Carrot and raisin with pineapple, mayonnaise and a little bit of peanutbutter
Peas, cheese and onions mixed with mayonnaise or fat free ranch and served on a bed of lettuce.
Waldorf Salad
Apples, pears, raisins, walnuts mixed with mayonnaise and a little bit of lemon juice.
Grilled Chicken Strips, Vinagrette Sauce, Dry Spinach, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Boiled Egg crumbled, carrots and peas.
Put ';stuff'; in it...carrots, cheese, boiled egg, pickle, tomatoes, cucumber, ham (think of the things you see on a salad bar)...try different types of lettuce (leaf lettuce, romaine, etc)...perhaps have some cole-slaw occasionally (you can make your own dressing with mayo and vinegar or lemon juice to cut out the sugar of the prepared ones)...
The primary thing with salad, is to watch your dressing...that's where a lot of the calories come from...good luck!

Any salad tastes better and crisp if the vegetables have been soaked in chilled water for a while.
For good home-made sprouted lentils follow the following steps:
Soak lentils in lots of water overnight.
In the morning drain water and wash by draining and adding water 2-3 times. Do not rub. Finally drain all water.
Cover and keep in warm dark place.
At night add water and drain out.
Cover and keep again as before.
By morning 3/4 long sprouts are ready!
Preferably use a porous container eg. an earthen pot. for best results.
TOSSED SALAD
Tossed vegetables
Baked beans
Water
Method:
Prepare tossed vegetable salad as in recipe in salads.
Wash half tin baked beans by adding 1 cup water.
Strain through a colander, saving the liquid.
Add the well-drained baked beans to salad.
Use liquid to make a vegetable soup or as stock.
Serve salad well chilled, with cold soup made from above stock.
SEE THROUGH SALAD
tsp gelatine or lemon jelly 1/2 packet
2 1/2 cups water
2 cups mixed shredded or grated firm vegetables eg. carrot, cabbage, celery etc.
1 green chilli chopped fine
2-3 springs mint leaves chopped
1 cucumber, slices for decorating
1 tomato slices for decorating
salt, sugar, pepper (freshly ground to taste)
Method
Prepare the jelly in regular way.
If using gelatine take 1/2 cup water in a small heavy crucible
Sprinkle gel on it. Allow to soak as it is for 5 minutes.
Now hold the crucible over very low flame or indirectly and stir gradually till all the gelatine dissolves and the liquid is clear. Do not allow to boil.
Add to the remaining water and stir well till clear.
Set in a rinsed wet glass bowl or jelly mould.
Mix all other ingredients and toss together except cucumber and tomato slices.
When the jelly or gel is thick but unset, add the prepared salad and stir in gently.

Just before serving, unmould by dipping the bowl in hot water for a few seconds and invert on plate.
Decorate ring and top of the mould with cucumber, tomato and coriander sprig.
