Although I tend to throw things together rather than provide official recipes, here are some ideas for salads:
BLT Salad : romaine lettuce, a few plum tomatoes, crispy bacon, fresh ground pepper. The dressing is simply several tablespoons of good quality mayonaise thined with some of the juice/seeds of the tomatoes.
Even with 3 plum tomatoes, the carbs didn't add up to much on fitday--------
