Well, I have pretty small green salads, but I couldn't eat them alone as the whole meal - that would just kill me.
What if you incorporate salad elements into things like sandwiches? A bit of mesclun or lettuce, a thin slice of tomato and peeled cucumber, a bit of avocado smushed onto the bread, that type of thing.
I'd say just downsize your portions of everything so that you can have both soluble fiber and the salad together. This may mean teensy portions of both, but that's okay.
You may also want to make a bread salad - check EFI for a recipe. That will give you the bread and the veggies in one safe dish, and you can have whatever portion size is good for you.
