I love a good salad.

But after eating salad for a meal, I’m often left in that “not quite satisfied” place that leads to heavy snacking two hours later.

The fix?

Serving salad on bread. It’s a cheap and easy way to make your salad more filling – and interesting.

Salad On Bread: The Bread

What kind of bread should you serve salad on? Here are some ideas:

• Warm focaccia
• Grilled baguette or French bread
• Toasted pita bread
• Crostini
• Flatbread

No matter what bread you use, make sure it’s toasted or grilled with plenty of olive oil on top.

Bread gets a bad rap – and maybe you’re not looking to add any more bread into your diet.

In that case, save this idea for entertaining. Serving salad  on top of bread is a chic and budget-friendly idea. Your guests will gush!

Watermelon, Feta & Arugula Salad

Most kinds of vegetable-based salads will work. Avoid pasta salads, which can get kind of heavy. I bought a side of focaccia bread at my local pizzeria for about $2.00.

Ingredients:

For dressing:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons honey
• Juice from 1/2 lime
• Salt, to taste

For salad:

• 1 cup watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 4 cups arugula
• 1/2 cup Feta cheese
• Bread of your choice (see above)

Directions:

1. Whisk dressing ingredients together until it emulsifies and thickens.
2. Toss salad ingredients together with dressing.
3. Serve on top of bread of choice.
