Steps
Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. The smaller you chop them, the more evenly distributed the flavour will be throughout the salad.
Place everything into a large mixing bowl.
Add your chosen protein on top of the vegetable base.
Season generously with salt, pepper, and any calorie-free herbs or spices you enjoy (garlic powder, paprika, chilli flakes work beautifully).
For dressing, keep it simple to stay within the calorie range: Lemon juice + salt + pepper, Balsamic vinegar, A light drizzle of olive oil (measure it — 1 teaspoon is plenty), Low-calorie Greek yoghurt mixed with herbs
