No, I've not become a hipster, I just want to eat something light for lunch instead of heavy carbs.

Never made a salad in my life and I'll most likely get my gf to read this thread and make it for me, but I still need to buy the food.

So far I've got chicken breast, what else goes into a healthy filling salad? Bacon, cheese, meat, more meat? Ahh help me please!

I need a dressing too, some kind of oil or vinaigrette? No high fat/sugar sauces.

Avocado
Tomato
Cucumber
Spring onion or red onion
Feta cheese or mozzarella

Then keep it simple with a little olive oil - 2 tbl spoons, 1 tbl spoon balsamic and a small squeeze of lemon.

Then if you want to YOLO out sprinkle some crispy bacon over the top of some croutons

This is way above my level of competence (even though I don't eat meat and I eat plenty of veggies they usually don't come in form of a salad), but the thing Jon proposed above sounds mighty tasty.

Just go subway

The problem with Subway is I don't use make use of the equity I have at home (the women).

She made this which I have 6/10, rocket, cos and heart lettuce, cheese, chicken, croutons and olive oil (and sauerkraut on the side)

Her salad to meat ratio was way off which I did not like and told her she had to sleep on the floor today and again tomorrow if she gets it wrong a second time.

@Jon-PokerVIP just normal balsamic vignette? I was at the shops last night and there were like 10 to choose from, confusing AF.

I had a nice chuckle over your post. I hope this doesn't make me a bad human being. Also, it reminded me of this:

Just good old normal as fuck balsamic yeh

btw that salad reminded me of this

Get some god damn avocado on it before i freak the F out

As if I just watched that video twice

Ordered me 4kg of avocados they shall be here tomorrow. Will go and get some balsamic stuff too, I assume I don't put olive oil in if I use that.

Yes, you do. Olive oil and balsamic will actually complement each other nicely.

4KG of Avos? DAFUQ

it's a little over £2.25 for one avocado in Thailand (imported), but if I buy the locals ones from the farm they are like 60p each, only downside is min order is 4kg. They are pretty big too, I think the pic below is about 1.8kg

haha let your gf sleep on the floor what a legend!!

Wot no bacon with the lettuce?! I'm outta here, this is far too healthy.

Anyone into papaya salads?

@Jon-PokerVIP they are famous for papaya salads in Thailand, I like them but that's only because they put a bunch of sugar on top of it.

I've been making my own salads recently but I think I'm putting too much cheese and olive oil, I'm getting fatter by the hour:

That's white and red sauerkraut in the corners.

Well yeah, salads are a great way of getting more veggies into your diet, but once you start going all-in on the cheese and olive oil you're in the no man's land and the devil is driving
