What are different recipes for delicious salads?

i love being healthy but what are some delicious ways to spice up an everyday salad?What are different recipes for delicious salads?
I hear you on this one, I'm kinda sick of the same 'ole toppings myself, so I wander about the frozen vegetable isle during the Winter time, seeing as most of the produce section is full of chemically grown veggies. I get some fresh greens, (love mixing them up, Spinach, Romaine, Green/Red Leaf, Iceburg, Bok Choy, Chinese Cabbage) and so on, toss in some freshly cooked steamed veggies (steamed, then chilled) then add them to my normal toppings, change up your dressings, add on some toasted nuts or some big baked croutons, over a bed of seasoned rice or small pasta. Serve your delicious salad with some large chunks of steak, chicken, duck, oven roasted pork or turkey, or put some warmed tortilla wraps on the table and let your family make their own salad wraps (putting all of the toppings separate) Forget the heavy dressings and put out some citrus wedges with Lemon/lime juice, Balsamic/Red Wine Vinegar and Light Olive Oil, fresh herbs like Basil, Parsley, Cilantro, Dill, Thyme...........this way you and your family can appreciate the simplicity of flavors without a sugary, caloric salad dressing and it could be less expensive. Anyways, I hope some of these suggestions help you out today and healthy eating to you!What are different recipes for delicious salads?

Greek Salad





Ingredients:

1 green bell pepper


2 cups cherry tomatoes


2 cucumbers


2 red onions

1 garlic clove


3/4 cup Kalamata olives


6 anchovy fillets (optional)


2 Tbs. capers, rinsed (optional)








Directions:


Seed the bell peppers and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Stem the cherry tomatoes and halve one-half of them, leaving the others whole. Peel and thickly slice the cucumbers, and thinly slice the red onions. Cut the feta cheese into 1-inch cubes. Crush and mince the garlic clove.





In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta cheese, olives, anchovies and capers and toss together.





Put on top a bed of greens- I would use romaine. Add Greek dressing

Warm lamb salad with raspberry and mint dressing





cooked lamb sliced, lettuce, tomato, red onion, feta cheese, pine nuts.


For the dressing combine raspebrry vinegarette with plain yogart and fresh mint and wizz in blender.


very very yummy
I like throwing in some craisins. They're good for you and make a normal green salad special.





Also good are a small amount of sunflower seeds or peanuts. The oil in them is good for you and I like an extra crunch.
Add onions, cauliflower, cucumbers, deli meat, a little bit of cheese, snap peas, tomatoes, broccoli, hard boiled egg, spinach, salsa, and nuts.


Maybe not all of these together but mix it up.
Tear up some Romaine lettuce

black olives
