Salads typically come in one of two sorry forms: as wimpy rabbit food that leaves you ransacking your bag for a half-eaten Milky Way, or as a covert fat bomb that harbors more calories than a half-pint of strawberry Häagen-Dazs (520 calories and 48 grams of fat in a Greek salad at Panera? WTF?).

But we've come up with a healthy recipe for six different summer salads that boast a highly coveted troika: They're delicious, filling, and diet-friendly. Brimming with lean meat, high-fiber beans, mood-boosting grains, and—yum—cheese, they deserve a label unheard of in the salad world: comfort food. Are they hard to make? Not if you can open a bag of shredded carrots.
