Okay, a quick disclaimer: not all salads are going to help you lose weight! If they're loaded with croutons and swimming in dressing, you might as well be eating a burger. But some salads can be healthy, with the right calories, from fiber and protein instead of sugar and fat. Here are a few healthful, tasty salads to try.
This is one of my all-time favorite salads.
This sounds like an odd set of flavor combinations, but I'm willing to give it a go!
Okay, calorie alert! A small serving won't wreck your diet, though.
Even if you don't like the salad, save this recipe for the poppy seed dressing alone.
If you love stone fruits, you've got to try this. It's divine!
This colorful salad looks, sounds, and tastes like a summer blast!
Don't let the calorie count scare you: most of the calories are from protein and fiber, though yes, the berries do also contain sugar.
This is such a delightful salad, cool and crisp with a little spice.
If you've never tried grilled watermelon, now is the time.
If I could only choose one word to describe this salad, it would be "fresh." And "yummy." Wait. That's two words.
This is another summer-time fave, with all the best Mediterranean flavors in one big bowl.
I forgot how much I loved orzo (little pasta that looks like rice, basically) until I tried this salad.
Look, the carbs in the noodles may be daunting, but carbs aren't the worst thing in the world. Use whole grain pasta and you'll be getting some fiber, too.
Fresh, sweet, juicy melon is really what summer is all about.
I love making this up for summer BBQs and really, just to keep in the fridge for a quick, protein-packed lunch.
The dressing adds calories, but again, a small serving is just fine.
Dried cranberries add a lot to the texture and flavor of the salad, but if you're not a fan, dried cherries will work, too.
