What's your favorite salad?

Megs081211

I made this salad the other day it was delicious.

1 small cucumber
6 roma tomatos (I used 4 but I'm not a big fan of tomatoes)
1/4 cup fresh basil diced
3 green onions (I used 1 whole onion)
2 tablespoons basalmic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (I only used 1, or thought it would be too oily)
3 tablespoons of feta cheese (I left this off and sprinkled on top when I was ready to eat it)

4 bean mix (drained)
1/2 can of tuna in springwater
1 chopped tomato
1/2 spring onion sliced
1 hard boiled egg chopped
1tsp sriracha chilli sauce
1tsp mayonnaise

Mix all together and add salt and pepper - yum! Also goes great on crackers

My favorite salad... Watergate Salad


1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Pistachio Flavor Instant Pudding
1 cup JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans
1-1/2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping


This is as close to a salad as I can come. I don't like the taste or texture of salad (think it stems from uncooked veggies, which are nasty to me). Strange I know... Veggies I love cooked I cannot eat raw.
Besides, if I ate salads what would the bunnies of the world eat? I couldn't let an innocent lil' rabbit starve

I love homemade taco salad:

6 leaves fresh clean romaine lettuce torn into bite size bits
Top with 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 cup ground beef seasoned (or ground chicken), 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup mexican cheese, garnish with fresh cilantro and 1 serving of tortilla chips.

JediMindfck

Couscous
Roasted pumpkin
Chickpeas
Red onion
Toasted pinenuts
Flat leaf parsley
Olive oil
Lemon juice

Also, aged Balsamic Vinegar (25 years) will make even the most boring green salad taste amazing. It's for drizzling not drenching though. Depending on the brand you can find yourself paying through the nose for it.
