It’s easy to think of salad as boring.You’re making it wrong
A salad can be much more than a simple appetizer of iceberg lettuce and cucumber. With the right ingredients, including vegetables, grains, protein and healthy fat, you can enjoy salad as your main meal — a healthy lunch or dinner filled with sun-kissed local produce.
Making it a meal
A salad composed of vegetables makes a great appetizer. But while vegetables are chock-full of vitamins, minerals and heart-healthy antioxidants, they are notoriously low in calories – about 25 calories per cup. That’s not enough energy to fuel you until your next meal.
simple steps:
Start with fibre-filled vegetables and grains
Add your protein
Finish with healthy fats.
Start with a base
Carbs get a bad rap because most people associate them with white flour and sugar. But did you know that every single vegetable is also rich in carbohydrates? The good carbs listed below provide you with energy, fibre, vitamins and minerals – and they serve as excellent salad bases:
leafy greens such as romaine, arugula, kale and spinach
whole grains such as quinoa, brown rice and bulgur
chopped or shredded vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, cabbage, and beets.
Top any of these choices with an array of vegetables and fruit. If you’re bored with the usual, try different prep methods. For example, add roasted broccoli, green beans or cauliflower, or use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons of zucchini, cucumber or carrot. Toss in blueberries, orange segments or strawberries – all pair well with vinaigrettes.
Add your protein
Adding protein and fat to the salad helps your body digest the carbohydrates more slowly and give you a steady stream of energy. Protein also provides a feeling of fullness that you won’t get from vegetables alone. Add one or more of these protein-rich foods to your salad:
lean meat: chicken or turkey breast, steak
cheese: light cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, feta, goat cheese
legumes: kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, white or black beans
eggs: hard boiled
soy products: cubed tofu, edamame
fish and seafood: tuna, salmon, shrimp, sardines.
Finish with healthy fats
Like carbs, some fats are better than others. For heart health, replace foods with saturated or trans fat (bacon bits, crunchy fried noodles, cream-based dressing) with these options, which contain heart-healthy fats:
salad dressing made from olive oil
avocado
nuts: almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans
seeds: pumpkin, sunflower, flax, sesame.

If your trying to be healthy it's still alot more restrictive than just that so even the dressing your suggesting could be packed with all kinds of carbs and sugars which what we would all call anti weight loss foods especially if we're talking about including all the fats you mentioned
Which could also be alot of additional calories so in truth it's actually hard to make a salad healthy and tasty especially whilst on a calorie deficit especially if the whole point of eating a Salad is to lose weight in the first place your just using up alot of your available precious calories on a calorie rich salad but its up to you if you like eating only once or twice a day.
