This will cause bloating and defeats the very objective of healthy diet and weight-watching. Portion control and moderation are important.
Your salad should leave you full and satisfied until your next meal. After all the effort you have taken in making a salad and eating one, you will only be irritated if you are hungry again after a couple of hours. Veggies and greens alone, that have 90% water content, can not do the job completely. Be sure to add some bulky protein and healthy fats to make a filling salad.
Make your own dressing, avoid those with additives and preservatives. Avoid croutons and canned fruits, always prefer fresh ingredients. Choose simple vinaigrette-based dressings and avoid thick, creamy ones. No fried toppings. Prefer grilled, steamed or sautéed animal proteins instead. Always serve and ask for dressing on the side, so you can watch the amount of dressing and prevent the leaves from getting soggy.
