I've had this salad and really like it. It's pretty much the only thing I can stand Brussels sprouts in because they are shredded nicely. One thing you can do if you find it too 'chewy' is to spread the greens out on a plate and chop them up more finely before you put the additional ingredients into it. The 'mouth feel' might be a little better if the pieces are smaller and more manageable.

Ocean's idea of adding fresh fruit is good too. It'll add flavor and moisture. I don't remember if you are not eating bread now but I like to oven toast a small piece of naan to go along with my salads and use it to mop up the dressing left behind.

I don't eat it as much as before due to the sugar content in the dressing. It has a crazy high amount of sugar--which is why my sweet tooth liked it so much--10g of the 13g of sugar will go directly to my liver and process just like straight up table sugar or HFCS would.

For thread compliance, tonight's meal will be one of four options.

1. Salad with naan.
2. Sautéed veggies with jasmine rice and some undetermined meat form (probably a spicy chicken patty).
3. Turkey dog with Artisano sausage roll, pickled salsa and mustard. It's reminiscent of a Chicago dog.
4. Tacos with a flour tortilla, fake chorizo meat, guac, black beans, chipotle sauce, sliced black olives, shredded lettuce, a dollop of sour cream and fresh pico de gallo.

I don't know which one yet but they all sound good to me now.
