You can make a salad as low as 50 calories, or you can have a 300 calorie feast, it's totally up to you!
Don't get discouraged if an ingredient is of a higher calorie count than you would like - Just take that and chop it in half; I've noticed some people seem to forget they can do that with home-made foods.
Feel free to suggest more stuff to include in this post! I'll research and add as time goes by ^_^.
First Step: Lettuce
(1 cup, shredded or chopped):
- IceBerg = 8
- Romaine = 15
- Spinach = 7
Second Step: Added Flavors
Almonds (14) = 98 (7 cal. each)
Apple (medium sized) = 80
Carrot = 30
Celery Stalk = 5
Cucumber (1/2 cup, w/peel & raw) = 8
Grapes (1 cup, or about 17 grapes) = 60
Pear (1/2) = 50
Prawn = 3-17 cal, depending on type and how you prepare it
Shrimp = 5-15 cal., depending on type and preparation
Third Step: Dressing
WishBone Salad Spritzers!- Ranch = 2 cal. per spritz
- Raspberry Bliss Vinaigrette = 1 cal. per spritz
- Caesar Delight Vinaigrette = 1 cal. per spritz
- Italian Vinaigrette = 1 cal. per spritz
- Balsamic Breeze Vinaigrette = 1 cal. per spritz
Walden Farms Dressings!
-Walden Farms has a huge selection of ZERO CALORIE dressings, but the likelihood is that you'll have to buy it online, which makes try before you buy terribly difficult. But, it's only $5, and calorie free, so it's probably worth the effort!
