    Red face What does YOUR salad look like ?

    Hiiiiii! Lol ok get to the point girl.

    I know salads can be a staple for many of us, or even just a nice option when going out, so I was wondering (as I happen to be in process of remastering my own salad recipe), how do YOU like your salad ? What do you like to put in it, how do you prepare it, whats your favorite one, how do you make it yum ?

    If home-made, I like to buy mixed leaves sealed bags, and add smoked salmon, avocado, feta, and maybe sweetcorn, peppers or sundried tomatoes if I can handle because i HATE the taste of tomatoes but somehow there are days I can handle sundried and pretend it is NOT tomato. Lol. And dressing.

    However at the restaurant, there is this one place that makes a GREAT Cobb Salad, with salmon, chicken breast, little tiny shrimps, emmental cubes, avocado, tomato cubes, cut up boiled eggs, parmesan and ceasar dressing.

    What's your go-to?
    "If I have any taste, it s for hardly anything
    but earth and stones.

    Let us eat air, rock, coal, iron.
    Turn, my hungers.
    Feed, hungers, in the meadow of sounds!
    Suck the gaudy poison of the convolvuli;
    Eat, the stones a poor man breaks,
    the old masonry of churches, boulders,
    children of floods, loaves lying in the grey valleys! "

    toilet bowl soup - but I do like cabbage slaw and potato salad a lot
    last salad I ordered in a restaurant (well over a year ago) was a thai salad with mandarin oranges.... it was yum.... I did pay a visit to the washroom afterwards and didn't eat all of it.....

    I pretty much like all salads to be honest- broccoli, macaroni, fruit, strawberry spinach salad with almond slivers and poppyseed dressing, taco salad (oh that's a good one!)

    NYC has a really awesome BIY salad chain called Just Salad that I frequent more often than I should. I get my staple several times a week--lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, shredded carrots, butternut squash and hot sauce.

    if I'm feeling ADVENTUROUS, I'll put in goat cheese. It actually doesn't work well with butternut squash at all, but I really love goat cheese, so fuck it.

    but otherwise I never deviate. There's no reason why I couldn't, I guess--it wouldn't cause me any anxiety because I would know how many calories my new salad creation was--but I'm a creature of habit when it comes to food. I like getting the same things over and over, done exactly the same way.

    I'm pretty sure this also leads the people at the salad place I frequent to think I'm some sort of weirdo, coming in and ordering the same exact salad almost every day, but eh, whatever.

    i have two favourites, one is mixed leaves with beetroots, roasted red peppers and goats cheese and the other is a little weird but i like it. It's mixed leaves with cucumber, tomatoes, cheddar, chorizo/salami, beetroot and whatever else in the fridge looks good. Both with balsamic vinegar and olive oil nom nom.

    I love tomato, goat cheese, good olives, and (sounds wierd but its so good) chopped apple. All topped with homemade balsamic vinaigrette (dijon, salt, pepper, pinch of sugar, balsamic vinegar, olive oil). Yummy.

    Yours sounds divine...I lovvvvve smoked salmon but have only tried it once or twice for $$ reasons.

    I also love one with spinach, grilled portobello mushrooms, walnuts, blue cheese, and dried figs. I'm really into the whole sweet and savory thing.

    I'm a pescetarian now, but when I was a kid I remember absolutely LOVING this salad my aunt used to make with lots of bacon, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and avocado in a homemade lemony vinaigrette. Dear god that was good.

    I am quite a fan of lettuce-less salads also: like mediterranean fattoush and tabbouli, or moroccan carrot salad. mmmmm

    I am often too lazy to make salads, so my favourites are both from M&S:
    - their Moroccan spiced butternut and couscous salad with a roasted carrot dip
    - their mixed bean salad

    I really can't bear lettuce, especially rocket, and my stomach hates raw leaves, which rules out the vast majority of premade salads for me. If I do make something at home, it's usually all cut into batons so I can eat it with my fingers, rather than in a bowl, so in my head it doesn't really count as 'a salad' even though it's the same stuff :/

    I like salads like so:

    some sort of meat (chicken, fish, fake chicken tofu product)
    greens and thangs (iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, black olives, beet greens, falafel sprouts, carrots? spinach? red/white onions maybe)
    extra thangs (i've had really good sesame dressing but i'm afraid to figure out the calorie content of it... so i avoid it. That "light ranch" stuff is good too, sometimes salt and pepper, or balsamic vinegar...)
