The rules on the greens with Atkins is, if you have a vegtable on the approved list (remember only 1/2 cup), you can have 2 cups of salad. Or you can have three cups of salad and no vegtable, the choice is yours You can eat it for lunch or dinner. I sometimes eat 1 cup salad for lunch, and then 1 cup salad with my dinner and 1/2 cup of vegtable.

Thats the way I understand it at least. Happy Low Carbing!
