Do any of you make your own salads?

[shdw01]

If so:

1) What do you put in it?

2) What types of greens do you use?

3) Dressing?

Tuna is good in salads for something different, make some bacon and boil some eggs and use romaine lettuce and a little italian dressing and you're in business. You're also consuming a lot of calories, but it's good.

Avocado is good in salads as is red onion. I've also grown to like raw carrots in my salads.

ginger dressing.

feta.

arugula.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Yep all top notch. Love the feta. Arugula is great too especially if mixed with another type of lettuce a boston or a red romaine.

Arugula is very easy to grow by the way. All you need is a clear patch of ground and a packet of seeds. Arugula is a self-seeding annual so every year it will drop it's own seeds and grow the next year...

If you like greens, research which ones are easy to grow and get yourself ready for some spring planting if possible.

cucumbers, tomatoes, green pepper, kalamata olives, feta cheese, red onion, oregano, olive oil, red vinegar.

I can eat it every day. Not a big fan of lettuce and other leafy greens.

Are you mocking my salad dressing thread from a few weeks back Shdw? Good to see you. Hope all is good in the 808.

I mix the Japanese dressing in myself when I order salad with my sushi.

 

[shdw01]

not teasing you iag....for some reason I made a salad a few days ago. (not to be confused with the tossing salad andy performs with his sheep)

I didn't know what to do so I just used regular lettuce, and put some hard boiled eggs, cheese and croutons....felt like I could've done much more but had no idea

I make three salads that I learned from making salads at a local restaurant growing up.

Ceasar - self explanitory
Garden - cherry toms, juliened carrots, sliced cucumber, ricotta salata, shallot vinagrette (I add sunflower seeds and egg if I eating it for a meal)
Arugula - lemon and oil and shaved parm

I want to hear more about this

 

[Cami]

Bacon, you perv.

I like mixed greens or Arugula, with feta, strawberries, walnuts, citrus chicken, and a raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

 

[MrX]

I like a mix of spring greens and baby spinach.

Feta is the shit.

Cherry tomatoes are a nice touch, but only if they're cut in half. I don't need little bombs going off in my mouth.
