Salads

I noticed my Salads were getting boring, you can only do certain things so long, and not get sick of them. Salads are not one them, I have been having the same type of Salad for more than 2 months. Ugh boring!

Iceberg lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and ranch dressing for 2 months.

Well...how did I remedy this? Romaine Lettuce, Red Onion, Cucumbers,  and Tomatoes. Sometimes I add a few croutons to make it crunchy.  Different dressing option were definitely needed. I always measure of 2 TBSP of dressing, and toss it. I don't need to drown my lettuce, I just need to add some flavor. I try to use Newman's dressing, because they are Jillian approved for being close to being the most natural when it comes to ingredients.

I have Italian Dressing, Catalina, and Light Ranch....I know but those are my favorites.


I love this because of all the color, although I wish I chopped the Onion to be a bit smaller.

There other things you can add to Salad, Bell pepper, Mandarin Oranges, Chopped Apples, and Craisins.

If Salad if going to be your main part of the meal trying adding lean meat to the salad, light canned tuna, or grilled chicken strips.

I might I add that eating vegetables and fruit before your main entree you will be fuller faster, and save on calories.
