I have been on a salad kick lately. Really forever, my Dad used to make us eat salad before every meal and instead of hating it, I love it! There really isn’t anything I won’t toss on a salad. Well except for anchovies because gross! Any vegetable, fruit or nut is fair game though.
Directions: Grill corn and asparagus on the grill or in a small saute pan. Boil the eggs for about 10-12 minutes. Place lettuce on a plate. Top with the remaining ingredients. Toss in your dressing of choice, I used Fig Infused Vinegar with some salt and pepper.
I had considered adding in pineapple, slivered almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, celery or strawberries. I would have liked a bit more crunch so most likely the slivered almonds but really any of those would be a great addition, I was just trying to keep it under 250 calories.
What random ingredients do you like in your salads?
- 2 cups Red Leaf Mix lettuce ~ ¼ cup grilled corn ~ ¼ Cup grilled asparagus spears ~ 2 hard boiled eggs - sliced ~ ½ Red Vine Tomato ~ Salt and pepper to taste

I love everything you put in the salad and the egg will seriously keep you full longer!! Love it!
Thank you! Yes, the egg was really filling!
take out the eggs, and i’m totally in! i’m so weird 😉
Not weird at all! You can easily substitute for another lean protein.
Looks Delish ! I have been eating my own
Concoction called it’s all Greek to me salad after
My Stephanie told me it was not the Greek salad
Lol! I use greens, craisins, pecans, feta,
Sometimes grape tomatoes, sunflower seeds ,
And chicken. Lightly dress with evoo and
Balsamic vinegar. Yesterday I ate it for breakfast
And lunch. I had sav blanc with raspberries
And strawberries for dinner since I was
So into watching the USA beat Ghana.
Enjoy your day! Love SMD’s momma
That sounds really good too! Love the Craisin, pecan, feta combo!
This looks amazing!
Mmmmmm.. And it’s so colorful! And, to me, colorful food is more enjoyable!
True, the more color the more I want to eat it! I try to think about color when making salad.
I’ll put almost anything on a salad – except fruit. LOL
This looks great!
Say what?! Haha! I am a picky eater so I get it!
Yum, this looks so good! This would be great for today since it’s going to be 90…too hot to cook!

Thank you. It is the perfect summer salad!
Okay so you’re my hero for posting this salad recipe. I NEED this in my life. I tend to add in eggs or grilled chicken too with my salads for the protein. 🙂 Now I really fricken want a salad….
Why, thank you!! I seriously work in a salad everyday! I just love it!
Love grilled asparagus! I would just eat that and never actually make a salad but points for trying, right?
Haha! Yes, points for trying! Grilled asparagus is so good!
This looks amazing. I love spring and easy salads.
Thank you! It was a great mix of flavors without being to heavy! Hope you give it a try!
We eat a ton of salad too. It’s the best. This looks yummy!
There are just endless possibilities with salads! Thank you!
hard boiled eggs in salad are my absolute favorite! They add so much protein and great taste!
They are so good and really help get protein when I’m sick of chicken!
That looks SO tasty!
Thank you so much! It really hit the spot!
Look at you being all healthy with your salad! I love random salads, they work out the best!
Haha! Thanks! They really do and you can throw just about anything together and it works!
Did you make the fig/vinegar dressing or buy it? Sounds interesting!
I did buy it. I use it on just about every salad I make it is so good. I find it at just my local supermarket but I think people have found it at Whole foods too.
YUM! I love anything with asparagus 🙂
It was a really great way to end a workout!! 🙂
I like the little pops that corn adds to salads.
Yes! It really makes it more fun to eat! 😉
this looks so good. i love fresh asparagus and need to make it more, especially in the summer!
Yes, it is so perfect on the grill and really good in a salad or even by itself!
I’ve had the worst food aversions to salad and anything green. It’s the WORST and I don’t know how I’m going to make it through the summer because shoveling yummy salads like the one you made above has always been a refreshing go-to meal for me when it’s hot out!! Does pasta “salad” count as something healthy? lol 😉
Hopefully it passes. Have you hit the second trimester yet? I couldn’t live without salad, okay I could but that would make me sad. Haha! I am not sure it counts as healthy but it sure is delicious! 😉
This is something that I could eat everyday for lunch or dinner! Yummy!
Thank you, yes I really could eat salad for any meal. 🙂
damn that looks so easy, simple, and delicious.
It was so simple to put together!
Love a colorful blend for salad! The boiled eggs are a great added touch for some protein too 😉
Thank you! Yes colorful always makes me more likely to eat it!
