| What are your favorites? I can handle a little chopping and opening a can but not much else. |
|
Spinach, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds
Kale massaged with olive oil, dressed with rice vinegar and salt and nutritional yeast Pick a leaf you like, add a dried fruit and nut or seed Open a can of mandarin oranges and add to leaves |

Pp here - If you want to give it some more thought, look up food pairings so see which flavors work together best
This is one book but I’m sure there are others and/or blogs that can point you in the right direction https://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Flavor-Bible-Creativity-Vegetables/dp/031624418X I also take flavor combos from restaurant salads I’ve enjoyed - like watermelon, arugula and feta. Though I’ve never made that and it may be beyond simple. |

I can chick peas
1 can corn Diced tomato and/ or cucumber Lemon juice |
|
Iceberg, high end blue cheese crumbles, ranch.
Whatever plus canned chicken. Yes, canned chicken. It's next to tuna at store and it's surprisingly decent. Better than lots of places cooked chicken unfortunately |
| Romaine, cucumber, poached or roasted chicken cut up, sunflower seeds, lentils, shredded carrot, and a little french fried onion rings. |
|
Arugula
Dried cranberries Shaved Parmesan Lemon balsamic dressing |
| This time of year I like greens with pear or apple, Gorgonzola and walnuts |
| romaine or spring mix, chicken, craisins, nuts and cheese crumbles. |
| I aim for one leaf (kale, spinach, lettuce); one fruit (raspberries, apples, cranberries, strawberries); one nut/seed (almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds); one cheese (parmesan, feta); and dressing. Ideally I don’t need to do any prep work at all, except for slicing the fruit if needed. Otherwise, it is all open the container/package, add in a bowl, and dress. |
Variation on this theme Arugula, grated parmesan, lemon juice, olive oil |
| Chopped Romaine hearts, shredded rotisserie chicken, French dressing. You’d think I was serving Happy Meals the way my kids gobble it up. |
|
Greens
Dried fruit Stinky cheese (blue or goat) Something crunchy (croutons or toasted nuts) Maybe some grape tomatoes I like balsamic vinaigrette and I embrace my basicness. (or am I cheugy?) |
| Arugula. Strawberries. Small mozarella balls. Walnuts. A little bit balsamic on the sweeter side. Easy peasy. Delicious. |
| Roasted squash or sweet potato wedges with tahini sauce and za'atar. |
