GTKY: Salad

[Deleted]

All I can think about today is salads. They sound so good. What do you put on your salad? What does your ideal salad look like? What's the weirdest thing you've seen on a salad?

Make my mouth water with all your salad goodness.

My favorite salad is romaine lettuce, cranberries, hot chicken, grapes, strawberries, avocado, feta cheese, and honey mustard or vinaigrette dressing.

Mmmm.

I hate it when there is surprise bacon on a salad. One of the diners around here had a salad this summer and it was amazing, but they didn't list bacon in the list of ingredients and then there was so much bacon on the salad it just ruined it.

I've been super into the dole salad kits. I like the chopped BBQ ranch one that comes with the French fried onions and the southwest one with taco ranch and tortilla strips.

I'm also a fan of blue cheese, walnuts, and dried cranberries. However my calorie tracking is not.

I'm debating a Chipotle bowl or a Chickafilet salad for dinner tonight.

I love salads!

An easy one I like is spinach, almond slices, and strawberries with poppyseed dressing.

(And I'll take all your bacon on salads @led !)

I love a crazy salad bar! I love doing spinach, bacon, hard boiled eggs, peas, tomatoes, chickpeas, sunflower seeds and a creamy dressing. Or chicken, berries, and goat cheese with a vinaigrette. 😛

The bbq ranch one is my favorite!!!

[wannabmama]

rooskie and @terrain yes those kits are so good; I eat those for lunch a lot!

My favorite is romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, black olives, shredded cheese, hard boiled egg, shredded chicken, croutons, ranch dressIg.

I don't often have alllll of that though so it's usually whatever I have on hand.

My college dining hall had the best salad bar. 😍

BACON FOR LYFE. POSSIBLY A SHORT-LIVED LYFE.

Any type of lettuce, I'm not picky about that.
Lots of fresh veggies and pulled rotisserie chicken with sweet and sour dressing. Specifically Marzettis sweet and sour.

I like my salad next to a giant steak.

Croutons are cool.

[bex15]

Chopped wedge salads are my absolute favorite but Greek is a close second

[kayladawn91]

I had taco salad today.
...does that count?

@led I hope you get your salad tho.

I didn't. 😥 H decided to go out after shopping, so I'll get it tomorrow. But I bought a bottle of wine to go with it since I'll hopefully be able to drink tomorrow.

My favorite is the strawberry poppyseed one from Panera bread. At home usually spinach, carrots, cheese, tomatoes, walnuts or pecans, with a vingarette. Or instead of tomatoes and carrots do oranges with a citrus vinegarette.

Mixed greens but nothing too bitter, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and balsamic vinaigrette.

I'm pretty weird about my salads. Fruit definitely does not belong in any salad except fruit salad (FFTC).

My favorite (and basically only salad I eat) is lettuce, shredded cheese, diced ham, cottage cheese, croutons, and ranch. So yummy!

Also, I typically only eat salads out at restaurants. I don't really like eating salads at home!

I was of the "no fruit on salads" camp until H insisted I try arugula with goat cheese, cranberries, and nuts. It was pretty good. But still not what I want when I say I want a salad. Your favorite is right up my alley!

[marshian]

There are two salads I really love and crave:

- Romaine/Green Leaf with cheddar cheese, ham, ranch, and cottage cheese on the side
- Arugula with shaved Parmesan, good olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Sometimes I'll go crazy and eat a sweet salad when H wants it (arugula + goat cheese + nuts + cranberries), but not often.

I absolutely love fattousche. It's a wonderful middle eastern salad with a lemony sumac vinaigrette.

I seriously throw the most random shit into my salads. I will eat just about anything in salad form. But my fave is a bowl from which wich: ham and chicken cold cuts, feta cheese, avocado, hummus, fresh croutons, lettuce, bell pepper, tomato, cucumber, jalapeno, banana pepper. With honey mustard dressing. So good.

I had to read through twice before I saw that there was lettuce in there.

LOL!

When I used to get salad bar at restaurants when I was a kid it was 98% garbanzo beans, 2% sunflower seeds, 0% lettuce.

Mine consisted of those little thin pretzel stick looking things (total brain fart going on), maybe a hard boiled egg or two, and shredded cheese.
