Let's Talk Salad..

I'm trying to incorporate eating salad more into my mealtimes... and am looking for some 'varieties'...

What are your favourite salads/salad dressings?
 
In the south....it's just plain, ol' Ranch Dressing! I do love the Red Wine Vinaigrette. Yum-O
 
My dream salad has some kind of nuts (walnuts or pecans or almonds), bleu cheese, a fruit of some sort (mandarin oranges, craisins, etc) and a vinaigrette (balsamic or raspberry will do).
 
Oh that sounds good Angie!!! I just had a raspberry vinegarette on my boring bagged salad. Lol
 
Was it this kind?

They'd frown on you eating Bart, I think.
 
Angie . . . HAHAHA . . . I was looking for the "like" button on your post!

I grill chicken breasts and then slice thin when cold to throw on salad. Same with London Broil, then add craisens, gorgonzola, and our favorite veggies. I also like cold pasta with greens.

In the northeast, we have a dressing called Gazebo Room. It is a Mediterranean vinaigrette. A little goes a long way and it is an awesome marinade for grilled meat too!
 
fave summer salad is romaine lettuce, pecans, feta, strawberries and brianna's strawberry vinaigrette. yummy.

also make my own cobb salad with bleu cheese dressing.
 
I just buy the salad dressing from Olive Garden and pour it over EVERYTHING.

I may or may not also stick my finger in the bottle and lick it every time I open the fridge.
 
K, am I the only one who has never been to the Olive Garden. Seriously??!! LOL!
 
I use spinach in all salads, I love it and it gives extra vitamins that plain ole lettuce just doesn't have. I also, pretty much, mix EVERYTHING into my salads - have extra chilli make a salad , extra spaghetti make a salad... pepperocini and banana peppers are a usual must have... for dressings I like to mix fat free sour cream (naturally yours - spotted container (cow)) and salsa... yum!
 
If you put fruit on the salad (especially mandarin oranges) raspberry vinaigrette is a great dressing. I only usually eat salads with fruit in the summer.

I throw leftover chicken, steak or taco meat on salad all the time. I'll pretty much put anything on a salad (my base is always lettuce, tomato & cucumber) and top it with ranch or italian.

I love salads! My favorite is to make some chicken fajita meat or left over taco meat.. add that to lettuce with salsa and sometimes fat free cheese .. mmmmmm
