The IC safe salad

So one of the ironies of IC is that the diet is heavy on green veggies but low on condiments and sauces. I mean what are we supposed to put on these veggies? Think about it, before IC when did you ever just sit down and eat brussels sprouts, spinach, broccoli, etc plain or perhaps with just butter? Before IC my salads had spicy chipotle dressing, ranch, blue cheese, or caesar dressing but after IC eating salads became a challenge. After all a bowl of greens without dressing is kind of like a day without sunshine. However, I love salad and I crave greens so I have designed an IC friendly salad. It consists of baby greens, cucumber, carrot, avocado, parmesan cheese and olive oil.  I can add other veggies as I feel like it, for example this weekend I added broccoli and cauliflower. The olive oil and parmesan cheese make a nice replacement for dressing, especially when I add avocado. If you have an IC friendly salad, please post about it as I am always looking for ideas.
