I need to start a diet, but I really love food. I am not big on salads (mainly the lettuce part) and I usually don’t have a lot of time to cook much (I get home from work at 6pm everyday)

What are some of your great healthy recipes that don’t take a lot of time to prepare (or can be prepared in advance)?

I’m a Ranch dressing junkie….but of course, I’m trying to cut calories. What are some good alternatives to store-bought dressings? I love tuna salad on salads, but that’s filled with mayo. The idea of yogurt on salad kind of turns my stomach. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe something with cottage cheese or a mayo alternative to tuna salad? )
And nope, I know myself and I just won’t eat a salad without dressing! ) I can tell myself that I will, but I just know that I won’t…
Thanks guys! ) Does anyone have any ideas for low-calorie dressing with a little more substance? These all are great, but not very filling…any ideas on creamier substitutes, maybe with a cottage cheese variation or something along those lines??

ranch dressing is the ONLY salad dressing that i like! im trying to loose weight, so i figured salads are a good diet food, and i like them! but today as i was eating one, i happened to look on the back and saw that just 2 tbsps of ranch is 150 calories!!! ive tried south beach diet ranch dressing, and that tasted a little funny, so i just use hidden valley….

so since ranch has all those calories, if you eat it on a salad, is the salad still healthy and a good diet food?
please dont suggest i try using a different salad dressing, like i said…i ONLY like ranch. ive tried all the other dressings, but i ONLY like ranch…please just answer my question…
ok so far no one has answered my question…thanks for the suggestion, but PLEASE just answer my question!!!
Is a salad still healthy if you eat it with ranch dressing?

I’m on weight watchers and am very tired of routine meals, I am constantly eating sandwitches and salads. Does anyone have quick meals I could make that are yummy??

I’m a very picky eatter but I can’t really cook. Is there any healthy meal I can easily prepare that will taste really good?
PS- I like warm food (not salads and other cold meals…sry just made the question alot harder)

I’m a college student who lives on campus. I’m trying to get healthy so I’m trying to eat salads as often as possible. however; there are no light salad dressings. so my question is what is the lowest calorie regular salad dressing? my options are french, ranch, blue cheese, italian, and honey mustard.

I eat salads everyday. I mostly boil chicken breast until tender, shred them up, place into a container for future use. I tend to go a little over board on the leafs(spinach mix) and my choice of toppings are tomatoes, banana peppers, cucumbers, bell pepper.

What are some of your favorite toppings and recipes?

I got several requests to explain the ease of making a whole living foods salad (Raw Salad + Dressing) In actuality making a salad is easy.. we all know that, but the dressing seems to be where everyone has the hiccup. Both the salad and dressing are shown here. -B
