Salads when on a diet

Please share salads that one should have while on a diet. Many salads are creamy/mayo so I think they have a higher calorie ratio. Recipes with lower calorie intake please … At the same time yummy as well, nothing that includes cutting stuff and eating it raw :stuck_out_tongue: … Something yummier to add to it ..

I usually make my own salads from scratch...using a dressing of olive oil, mustard and honey and balsamic vinegar instead of mayo or salad cream though I think tiny bit of mayo won't do much harm.

Yeah, salads are so flexible...just throw in a bunch of stuff you find yummy and drizzle it with olive oil, salt and black pepper....voila, salad ready.

One salad I enjoy and find filling while being quite healthy is with chickpeas/garbanzo beans, green and red bell peppers, crumbled feta cheese (or small tiny cubes of cheddar), olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach and cubed apples. I cut everything up small and cubed except for the chickpeas and spinach. For dressing; olive oil, crushed garlic, salt/pepper, lemon juice. It tastes deeeeeelish, and it's so filling and yeah. Oh and you can substitute the chickpeas with grilled chicken or fish or whatever.
