What do you like on your salad?

[kassykit]

This is so giving me ideas on what to try! i adore salads however they do tend to get kind of boring!

here's shooting for losing another 80lbs!

granted salads aren't always the way to go but i find i feel more satisfied with a salad than a hamburger

strange no??

I'm not designed to like only one kind or type of anything. I like salads, period.

Right now, there's large red bell peppers, mushrooms, mini bell peppers (yellow, orange and red), romaine, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic and onions in our fridge with both non-fat and full fat Caesar dressing. I can make about 5-6 different salads with that combination alone.

I do tend to prefer romaine over spinach, as it seems to last longer, though I do like both.

One of my favorite simple salads of all time is chopped walnuts, shredded mozz cheese (usually non-fat), mushroomes chopped up teeny tiny, and romaine with a raspberry vinaigrette or a pear vinaigrette. Yummmmmy.

I kinda feel like Forest Gump here, but I like Caesar salad, Cobb salad, Waldorf salad, Chef salad, garden salads, dinner salads, clean out the fridge salads (aka everything but the sink salads), Greek salad, protein salads, rice/couscous salads, three bean salad, potato salad, egg salad, macaroni salad, BLT salad, crispy chicken salad, Mediterranean salads, and a plethora of others.

I do, however, not particularly care for carrot raisin salad and I find ham salad quite distasteful.

I like my salad covered with a bun on top salad in the middle followed by a hamburger patty with cheese on it and a bun on the bottom of the hamburger patty.

I like my salad to have a mix of fresh and cooked things- On a bed of spinach, or perhaps blanched kale, I want an abundance of raw tomatoes, and raw mushrooms. I like roasted onions, and roasted corn, but cold. And then I like some pickled beets. And boiled egg bits. Add some raw cucumbers, raw peppers in different colors, then top it with some low fat small curd cottage cheese instead of dressing, with a bit of salt an pepper on top. YUM. Fancy dinner goodness as a salad.

I'm an oddball. I'm not a big fan of salad usually. I prefer a little bit of lettuce, LOTS of cheese, bacon, croutons and a gallon of Thousand Island dressing smothering it all...

I like leafy greens or spinach and I'll add almost any veggie depending on what I bought or what's in the fridge.

When wanting nothing but raw veggies in my salad, I'll take, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, yellow squash, zucchini, bean sprouts, tomato, green onions and add that to whatever lettuce I have on hand. Of course, always cut into bite size pieces. I'll add balsamic and olive oil or sometimes honey mustard dressing. Top it off with mixed shredded cheese and either croutons, crushed bagel chips or tortilla chips. If I have some hard boiled eggs in the fridge, I'll chop one up for the ultimate top off.

I'm not much of a, I have to add meat to my salad kind of person. I'd rather have my meat on a separate plate.

I like romaine lettuce, croutons, no bacon I'm Jewish but miss it terribly and vinagrette with balsamic vinegar and honey mustard and extra virgin olive oil, making that tonight!!
