dress grape color image
Q. And please don't say "no dressing" or "lemon juice!" Haha I hate both. I'm thinking light balsamic vinaigrette. I know it has a lot of sodium but it seems to be the lowest in carbs, fat, & calories.
Answer
Generally there's more nutrients in darker colored vegetables, Spinach has plenty of vitamins and minerals that are good for you, peppers are good, carrots (I like them shaved in salad), onion doesn't have a lot of nutrients but adds a big flavor punch. You can put fruit in there too if you want, grapes can be good in a salad, raisins, orange, apples too and of course tomatoes. Really you can add any vegetables or fruits you like.
There is plenty of nutrition value charts online and of course everything has calories so the "healthiest salad" depends on your goals and what you want out of it. You can add some lean meat in there too or cheese for protein if you are eating the salad as a meal rather than with your meal.
When I am trying to drop a few pounds I eat a fairly large salad with lots of Iceberg lettuce in the middle of the day (between lunch and dinner sometime), it doesn't have many nutrients but has water and fibre with almost no calories and makes me feel full so I don't eat a bunch of other crap, plus it's cheap.
As far as dressing. I usually just make one, it only takes a few minutes and I can tailor it to what I feel like eating and whats in my salad or if I want more calories or less. Usually I go with Olive Oil and Vinegar as a base (malt, balsamic, or cider vinegar depending what flavor I want) then add spices (different types that I like on a given day), pepper, garlic and shake it up and it's good to go or I throw it in a small container and take it with my lunch then shake it again and add it on. Cream based dressings are usually the highest in calories as they naturally have the most bad fats and usually the low fat versions replace fat with sugar but most low fat dressings will have sugar instead of the fat.

Answer
I'm not too into name brand clothing really. Here's some of the things in my closet:
colorful t-shirts with words or pictures on them (obviously not like dora, but like i have a shirt that says (im not short, im fun sized!' and a picture of a turtle next to it)
baggy 'lounge looking' pants and capris. like, you know, the ones that are all super loose all around your legs except there is elastic at the waist and ankles
jean shorts and normal jeans
colorful tights with a black, grey, or white skirt to go with.
tons of neutral and colorful hoodies
jewelry with the super huge beads that are like the size of a grape and really colorful and plastic
hats (like its hard to explain. its not a beret, or cap or baseball hat, but its kinda poofy in the top and idk its hard to explain but they're cute)
flats, flipflops, converse, and hightops.
