Do you have suggestions for a good salad for a diet I'm starting today?

I am starting my diet today, and I plan on eating quite a few salads because I really like them. I always use lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, croutons and bacon bits. Do you know of any other ingredients I could use to make it delicious and a variety and healthy for my diet? Thanks.

Try to put some tuna flakes with lemon, corn, cucumber hmm yum. I really missed doing salad, it was not in my diet I think it is almost a month now. I will try again one of these days.

Mmmmm! That does sound good and yummy lynboobsy! I can just taste the lemon now. Wish me well. I really need to lose a few pounds. I can't handle it anymore. I don't want to keep going up in size every couple of years.

I used to never care to tell anyone my weight, but nowadays I don't want anyone looking. I'm one of those persons now who will only weigh when someone can't see. Well, I am almost that way. Yes, good luck to us! Thanks.

Hi there Kalyan. It is so good to have you on mylot! I will try the onion slices and cucumber slices. Hadn't even thought of them. Not too crazy about carrots though. Can't understand why anyone eats them as they have no taste to me at all. Can you taste them?

If you are going on the diet for slimming, include more greens, and go easy with dressing. A totally vegan salad will be much more effective.

Okay webearn. I willl definitely give that a serious try. I'll miss the meat and cheese, but I guess I could slip some in there some times. I'm really serious about losing weight this time though. OMG I have too!

Try adding carrots and cucumber on it with a vinaigrette dressing. :-)

Hi chicgale. I will do the cucumbers. As a matter of fact, I had a salad today with cucumbers. They made the salad more tasty. But I'll probably skip the carrots. They're okay,, but I have never been much of a carrot eater. Thank you chicgale.
