~Spring Mix salad (lettuce)

~1/4 cup shredded cheddar/jack cheese

~few tbs salsa

~2 tbs low fat sour cream

~few tbs fat free italian dressing (I don't use much because of salsa already gives moisture)

~Marinated chicken breast (use whatever you like. I like light ceasar dressing, or just oil w/ some spice).

That's it! Enjoy!!!

Sometimes I just use turket breast if that's all i have on hand. This salad really stays w/ me for hours! It's about 550 cals or so I think.

I thought meal sized salads were not good for bandsters? Since you are supposed to eat your protein first, a salad as a meal wouldn't work with that rule.

I rarely eat salad without some kind of protein in it -- chicken, tuna, even lean steak (with blue cheese crumbles, yum!). I also add a diced boiled egg to most salads I'm eating as a meal. Taco salad is great, although the main part for me is meat with cheese melted over it, topped by lettuce, tomato, onion, diced chile pepper ... cobb salad is yum too, but high in calories unless you "Water down" the dressing and eliminate the bacon.
