Tell me what you like in a salad...

lettuce, chicken, craisins, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and this new Pear Gorgonzola dressing I recently found. Yum!

romaine lettuce
cherry tomatoes
cucumber
thin sliced radishes
carrots (sliced/shredded)
shredded red cabbage
rinsed kidney beans
fresh cuts no salt corn

Topped with either 2-3 tablespoons of homemade chili or taco meat instead of dressing.

I sometimes fix a simple salad that is very good. It is romaine lettuce, mandarin oranges, red onion and raspberry dressing.

I am having a salad for lunch right now.

I'm having salad with Trixie Bender!!!

So simple but one of my favorite salads ever when I was younger and not very adventurous with veggies:

ice cold iceberg lettuce, cut not torn
ice cold celery, diced very small
ranch dressing made from the Hidden Valley packet with buttermilk, also very chilled.

Now that I've grown up a bit, I love a salad from Tyler Florence that uses lots of dark green mixed lettuces, sugary-spiced, toasted pecans, pears, and his special vinaigrette. I'll look it up and link it if I can. He calls it a fall salad and it is so yummy!

My favorite right now is Kale and red cabbage with Quinoa, green onions and red wine vinegar dressing. I add chickpeas and avocado, pumpkin seeds.

lettuce{usually the spinach spring mix with some butter lettuce mixed in}
shredded carrots
zucchini
mushrooms
mandarin oranges
sunflower seeds
chicken
olives
croutons 
colby jack cheese or smoked gouta
green onions
bacon bits The real bacon ones not the fake crap.... 
french dressing or Catalina dressing 


 

These are some things I use on my salad

Boiled eggs
avocado
Crumbled bacon
feta cheese
grilled chicken
or
Some kind of bean. I usually use garbanzo, kidney, or black beans.

I love salad & these all sound delicious! I like to mix romaine with baby kale, garbanzo beans, sliced cukes, feta & lots of freshly ground black pepper.

I had a salad the other day that had roasted beets and roasted/grilled peaches on it - so good! The crumbled up some goats cheese there, and there was a dollop of pesto too... It came with a simple oil/vinegar/herb dressing but there was a drizzle of balsamic reduction that really gave it flavour...

Think because it's summer, I'm loving any grilled veg added into a salad (cold/leftovers)...

Eggs are making it into my salads more often too - hard boiled or poached...

Other stuff:
Mini pepperoni slices
Mushroom - raw, canned, sautéed
Fresh herbs - cilantro, dill
Olives
Sliced almonds, walnut pieces
Sliced steak
Grilled chicken
Taco sauce or salsa
Mango, red onion, cilantro, and some tamarind (?) marinade that I use to cook Thai chicken

Every once in a while I'll do a one bowl salad with leftovers - lettuce, whatever veg is around, toss in some leftover pasta/noodles, leftover beans, etc... Not gourmet by any stretch but I've come across some combinations that I like and wouldn't have planned on otherwise...
