I want a really good healthy salad, not cucumber salad and not cole slaw. Any suggestions?

Cabbage Salad? Hearts of Palm Salad? Cracker Salad? None of these are particularly healthy, but they're tasty Smile

Health Salad
Thinly sliced carrots, celery, green pepper, purple onion, and some cabbage if you like.

1/2 c mayo
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c oil
1/4 c vinegar
1 T salt

I sometimes use splenda and substitute water for oil.

I was just by the Jewish bookstore buying a cookbook as a gift. They had a whole book (under $20) of nothing but salads. I think the title was 200 Salad Recipes or something like that. Looked good.

Avocado & hearts of palm. Dressing: olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
You can add other veggies, like tomatoes, but I like to keep it simple.

I enjoy making a mixed roasted/fresh veg salad.

I bake uncovered on a high flame diced Eggplants and sweet potato. I cut lettuce (you can add tomatoes and cucumbers) and make the dressing of Mayo with Pesto and its delicious! Topped with pine nuts if I'm feel fabulous Smile

Romain or spinach. Cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, scallions and chineses noodles the thin ones. Dressing is: olive oil, soy sauce, drop of sesame oil, garlic, drop of honey.and lemon juice. I don't add so much salt bc of soy sauce.
