I like cheese, either feta or blue, and some nuts of some sort, usually walnuts.

I go for hummus (I don’t like most salad dressings, so I make my own with hummus and lemon juice), nuts, and/or chicken. I also like more filling vegetables like sweet potatoes.

I need some sort of protein for sure. I hate when you eat a big salad, and you still feel unsatisfied!

Nuts + seeds are my filler-uppers!

This weekend, I had a big spinach salad with parmesan, craisens, almond slivers, sesame seeds, onion, and a citrus viniagrette! It was amazing! I love fruity salads!

Sounds delicious! Key salad ingredients for filling me up are some sort of protein (usually chicken, chickpeas, edamame, tuna, hard boiled eggs, or a combination of any!) and plenty of dark leafy greens.

My favorite salads include: romaine, purple cabbage, carrots, nutritional yeast (major stick-to-ribs factor!), gluten-free veggie burger (Amy’s Bistro Burgers are the best), grilled eggplant, avocado, and dressing made from fresh salsa. That kind of salad keeps me going for hours!

Ok, I feel really dumb for saying this but in the spirit of being honest…THANK YOU FOR THIS POST! I never would have thought to buy lettuce like that so I can make my salad in the container..

so, like all your other great posts(which are all of them)…thank you 🙂

I need protein- chicken is my favorite and fiber!

Needs to have a lot of spinach and a protein for me!

I like to have mostly toppings with just a little lettuce or spinach. Also, adding a non-traditional dressing like barbeque sauce makes it “feel” more substaintial.

Oooh, cute coat!! Avocado in a salad always helps to fill me up really well.

For some reason salads only fill me up when I purchase them. If I make them at home, no matter what I put in it, I’m starving soon after. Makes no sense.

Loved this post! I actually do the plank time activity and push up count at least once a week. I realized a few months back that I HATE HATE HATE doing plank and push ups because I find them hard… and then I realized that that is not a good reason to not do something so now I time myself.

Thanks for the tips on keeping the focus off the numbers.

I love using half full lettuce containers for lunch!

I can recycle them at work and not feel guilty about using a “throw away” container!

One of my fitness goals is the pull up…currently I am on my way to doing at least one:)

Mmmmm salad, my fav. lunch! I am in a nut rut, so I have turned to beans of all sorts. Currently chickpeas are my go to. I load up my spinach/leafy greens with tons of veggies. Then I always add raisens, dill pickels and usually some nooch. I love Annie’s Goddess dressing 🙂 Give me all that in a container and I am one happy veg head 🙂

I love my salads to have variety and the bigger the better. I usually add hummus to bulk it up.

Some grain or beans and protein help make a salad stick. I also like grilled or roasted vegetables along with raw veggies. Maybe it’s the added oil from the cooked veggies that make them more filling.
Good to see a plastic lettuce container being recycled! Those things are perfect for a big salad.

Cheese and chickpeas 🙂

BEANS!!!

I STILL have not tried that grilled banana sandwich… need to get on that!!!
And I have to have some sort of protein, fat, and carb for a salad to stick with me.

White beans, roasted veggies, sunflower seeds, and goat cheese are must-haves! Toasted walnuts are a nice bonus too. Mmmmm.

I need to add protein to get salad to “stick.” I usually do chicken but I love beans or edamame!

Cheese makes a salad. Feta, blue, cottage…bring it on!

That banana sandwich seriously made my tummy rumble!! I guess I know what I will be having for breakfast tomorrow 🙂

Oh my gosh…YOUR COAT = love!! So gorgeous!!

Definitely beans and some sort of fat, avocado or sunflower seeds usually.

I have never had a professional massage (save for a couple of minute-long ones they have at fairs). It sounds wonderful.

I’m hooked on walnuts + goat cheese as a salad topping! So delicious and filling.

CHEESE – definitely cheese 🙂 Hummus, salsa thrown on top too. And big veggies – not just lettuce 😉

Salsa, tuna, eggs, or cheese are always favorite fill-me-up mix ins for salad!
Professional advice for a day off running? Sounds good to me 😉

Avocados and some kind of protein always make a salad more filling for me. But I find I usually need some bread or crackers on the side for it to really stick!

I love the addition of nuts to salads to make them a little more hearty – whether its slivered almonds or whole walnuts….delish! And I LOVE me some avocado for sure, too!

Haha, did you really want to eat cloves of garlic in your salad when you are working at the clinic? I know it’s healthy and all, but …

Beans and tofu are a necessity on salad. Throw in some grains and dried fruit, and that is my kind of meal!

You got me hooked on your grilled banana sandwich. I made it for the 2nd time this past weekend! Soooo good and simple to make! and shared your recipe page w/ a friend as well:)

tuna, i must have tuna or chicken or some sort of lean protien to make my salads filling..it works well 🙂

hmmm, i’d say avocado & beans are a must

Like some others have said, I find a salad more filling if it includes a protein. I like grilled chicken, chickpeas or boiled eggs with my salads. I also find cheese makes it more filling. My family refers to me as the salad queen, because I always volunteer to bring a salad to gatherings. There are so many yummy ways to make a salad!!
