Baby corn is low carb
Maybe use cabbage instead of pasta

Most of the recipes that last long in the fridge are marinated, so they have sweetener to offset the vinegar or acidic component. And/or they use just one vegetable as the main ingredient, which ends up keeping the salad fresher because the different juices don't fight with each other.
Like cucumber salad, cole slaw, marinated rainbow salad. All sweet but I make mine sweet and savory, often with lemon juice, and extra kosher salt.
But you can get creative and make non sweet salads like
lemony dill carrot salad
roasted beets salad
radish salad
Some last a while in the fridge. Often the best way to make these last is to cut up the veggies (often in the food processor) and keep sealed in the container, up to a few days, then dress the salad when you're ready to take it with you/serve.

So funny - My DH is quite picky too! He jokes that he eats his vegetables by eating the cows that eat the greens for him   I just gotta laugh - I am very health conscious, but I think that being a nagging wife would be worse on his health than veggies, so I try to beg a good sport!
