Include whatever veggies you like, the dressing is the key when trying to lose weight. I used balsamic vinagrette with the lowest calorie that I cold find, use only as much as the label says is one serving. Mix it up as to the other additives if you plan to eat a salad frequently, italian croutons are good, sesame seeds, feta cheese, diced walnuts or other nuts are some of my favorites.
