salad

I've had a couple of salads and have done ok with them. I love to make chicken caesar salad with Newman's Own Light Caesar salad dressing. It is yummy!! and I add shredded parm cheese. Use the Louis Rich Chicken pieces, warmed up. mmmmmm. Give it a try and I hope you do well. Hugs, Tabby

I have tried a few bites of spinach salad, it was yummo. I've not braved much else in the way of salad because I work so hard at getting protein in. If I have had my protein for the day and want a snack in the afternoon - I enjoy sliced cucumbers (peeled) w/ some low fat / low carb ranch dressing or rice vinegar.

My surgery date was 5 days after yours and like you I really missed salad. My doctor okayed salad in moderation as of December 14th. I eat salad once or twice a day without any problems. It all depends on how well you tolerate different foods. Give it a try.

One last thing I recommend avoiding iceberg lettuce because it has no nutritional value, it is like drinking a glass of water. Try romaine, spinanch or other greener lettuces because they have alot more vitamins and minerals in them.
