Okay, I go to work and am on a diet. I need a good salad recipe which is not more than 200-300 calories, makes you full and tastes good. Also, which I can pack so there cant be too much greasy things in it. A little is okay though.
Just to add, I do not like raw tomatoes and oregano.Who has a cool salad recipe?

Italian Beef Salad Recipe
1 lb. rare roast beef from the deli, sliced in 1/2'; strips
2-4 T. extra virgin olive oil

2 T. tiny capers (optional)
1/2 C. whole black Greek (oil cured) olives

Prepare the broccoli florets first. Steam until crisp-tender and run cold water over them.
Arrange the mixed greens on a large serving platter. Ring the broccoli florets around the edge, on top of the greens. Drizzle 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil over the broccoli and greens, then sprinkle with 1/2 the lemon juice. Salt and pepper, to taste. Heap the roast beef strips inside the broccoli ring. Drizzle with 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining lemon juice. Salt and black pepper, to taste.
Sprinkle the capers and Greek olives over all. And top with the parmesan cheese.
Serve the salad on the platter, letting each diner eat off the platter. Or divide onto individual plates.

I adore arugala salads,they have a nice spicy taste without having to add tons of other things,if you want you can sprinkle a bit of olive oil,basil leaves,or chives. If you want to get fancy,top it with scallops or a chicken breast. Or simply feta cheese and walnuts.
shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced green onion, thinly sliced cucumber, mandarin orange segments, dress with a little soy, sugar substitute (just a sprinkle) Thai peanut sauce, rice wine vinegar and salad oil
top with roasted peanuts and add chicken or shrimp if you like
Try a tossed green salad with whatever you like added (I like cucumbers, yellow peppers, black olives, cheese and chickpeas) and add some of the fake crab meat that is available now (It's flavored fish). This is high protein, low calories, and really delicious.
