Salads and diets seem to go hand in hand and for good reason: a recent study shows that eating a first-course salad can reduce overall calorie intake at a meal by up to 12 percent. These fresh, low-cal salads feature fiber-rich vegetables and protein-rich lean meats to fill you up and keep you feeling satisfied straight through until dinner.

All these salads can be made ahead of time. But for the freshest salad, pack the dressing separately and then add it and toss right before serving.
