Renata's Salad














Renata Salad

1 can black beans (rinsed and drained well)
1 medium cucumber (peeled and diced)
1 cup super sweet frozen corn
3/4 cup chopped green pepper (it was 1/2 of a large pepper)
2 scallions chopped (both green and white)
1 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes (about 2 tomatoes)
1/2 cup Kraft Free Catalina dressing


optional: celery, kidney beans, chicken chunks, basically anything that sounds good

(filling foods: black beans, cucumber, corn, pepper, scallion, tomato)


You can crush baked tortilla chips on it, use it for a salsa dip, or just eat it plain.

11 points for the entire salad

1 1/2 points for 1 cup serving

Pomegranate Apple Salad










To help keep the squirting of the seeds down, put the halves of pomegranates in a bowl full of water. It helps immensely to keep the mess down (and the white parts float).













Pomegranate Apple Salad


1 cup skim milk
1 small package sugar free vanilla pudding
1/4 cup powdered sugar
8 oz cool whip free
1 pomegranate
4 or 5 apples chopped

Mix milk, pudding, and powdered sugar until thick. Fold in cool whip. Add apples and the pomegranate seeds.

The sauce part makes an excellent dip for any fruit. Yummy!!

21 points total for the whole salad. I didn't measure exactly how much it makes, but I am guessing that would make about 10 3/4 cup servings.

2 points for 3/4 cup.

Spinach Salad

3 points


spinach ~1 cup
thawed frozen peas ~1/4 cup
carrots sliced ~1/3 cup
craisins ~1/8 cup
Kraft Catalina Free dressing ~2 tbsp


I eat this salad for my lunch quite often, and if I am eating it for dinner, I usually will add baked chicken or sliced sandwich meat to it to get protein. I cut up a lot of carrots at a time and put them in a bag in the fridge, so that it is easy to pull out. This is a great meal option if your points are running low, or if you just love salad.
