Dressing doesn't have to be an issue if you don't drown your lettuce
in it and you don't need all that other stuff if your greens are
interesting enough. I never put cheese or bacon on salad and rarely
put tomato, onion or cucumber on it.

I couldn't eat a salad of greens. that tastes like awful grass to me.
my salads are full of vegetable chunks. no bacon or cheese though.
just salt and pepper, vinegar and oil.
as for celery sticks, I am in love with this stuff from Costco
'Skotidakis Jalepeno Yogurt Dip made with strained Greek yogurt '
50 calories for 2 tablespoons

I appreciate the differences between lettuces and like them mixed
together also... I'll eat anything but head lettuce, because I HATE
head lettuce. I love designer greens (mixes). Trader Joe's "Herb
Salad Mix" mix
(http://www.cravingideas.com/.a/6a00d...26e4970c-500wi)
is really, really good. I'm the person who feels the same way about
squash. I can eat a different squash 5 days out of 7 for months and
never feel like I'm "eating squash *again*".

My standard dressing (home made) isn't creamy either. It's a
vinaigrette with Italian herbs and garlic.

Not a big dip person. I bought one weeks ago and it's still sitting
in my refrigerator unopened.

that's what my husband says also (nor am I), but he loves the stuff
spread on his sandwich instead of mayo or other and it makes a nice
healthy lunch or snack for me.
