Salad Extravaganza!

I have been on a huge salad kick lately, using all kinds of different flavors, colors, and combinations. In my searching, I've found a wealth of low-carb salad recipes right here on About.com's Food sites. I've compiled a lot of them in a new article called Salads Around the World.

I've also put two of my latest salad recipes on the site. One of my favorite meals lately is this Thai-style Chicken Salad, with a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. High in protein, it's low in carbs and calories.

Another light and refreshing summer salad is this Watermelon Salad with Cucumber and Mint . As I've been working on the recipe I've taken it to a couple of different potlucks and people love it. Perhaps best of all, it's EASY - just four ingredients!

My recommendation: Get out of whatever salad rut you're in and try something entirely new!
