Bev, how big of a salad are we talking here? Personally, I haven't risked having any salad in a long time, even after soluble fiber. The raw lettuce just does a number on me. But maybe if you just have a couple pieces of lettuce it will fulfill your urge for a salad but not be enough to bother you. I certainly wouldn't have too much after just one piece of bread! Sorry I couldn't be more of a help, but I'm not a risk-taker by nature!
