Have you tried balsamic?
Just about every brand has one.
At Cub (not sure what your shopping options are these days) they have a 1lb tub of 'spring mix' lasts me easily a week of extra large salads for lunch. ($6.99-organic section) I mix 3 c. of that with 1/2 c. broccoli slaw mix (dry-has carrots and broccoli) 1/8 cup of of unsalted roasted sunflower seeds, couple tablespoons of craisins and finely shredded Parmesan cheese, and top it with a tablespoon or 2 of Newman's Own Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.
Can you believe this clocks in at a mere 230 calories including 2 tablespoons of dressing? It fills me up (I mean, it's 3.75 cups of veggies!). I have been eating this for 2 weeks now, I love it, and apparently am borderline obsessed.
I had the hubster eat it last night too - Thursdays are generally pizza night, and he can put down a few slices, I wanted to limit the number of slices I ate, so he joined me in a salad before the pizza. He still ate 3/4 of the pizza.
Wish I were a guy, then I would only gain a pound every month by eating like that.. *sigh* but at least I get to have long pretty hair..
Do you have a great low calorie, high nutrient salad? Please share, for I fear I will become bored with this one.
