Why don't you switch from salad to cooked vegetables for a while? Broccoli, spinach, eggplant, summer squash (my fave)... all good stuff.

Hi Liz. Here are links to two of my favorite recipes. They are both chock full of veggies and very good.

Broccoli/Cauliflower Salad
Broccoli Spinach Bake (I use ricotta cheese in this recipe.)

Happy eating!

Hi Liz... are you looking for lunch veggie ideas? I do lots of chicken or ham or tuna salad... lots of chopped up celery, dill relish, and finely chopped green onions (scallions)... plenty of mayo... some celery salt. With the chicken salad, add a tsp of hot curry - excellent. With the ham salad, add a dollop of spicy mustard! With canned salmon, add a couple of tsps of dill weed, and a good squirt of fresh lemon juice...

Serve with celery sticks (as spoons) or wrapped in a romaine lettuce leaf - like a "wrap".

Hey, this ALL sounds so yummy!!! (and people tell me low-carbing is dangerous, BAH!!! )
I like to add ALL kinds of stuff to salad. Cobb salad is awesome: Greens, hard cooked egg, avocado, bacon, shredded cheese, chicken strips, bit of tomato, YUM YUM. I could never get sick of a salad like that!!!!
