Crazy Salad Combinations

lorcart

I think I'm the only person alive who cringes at the thought of putting fruit and things like salad or meat together. Blah! lol Dried fruit doesn't freak me out quite as bad BUT I can't eat it because it's all covered in sulpher and WOW does it have a bad effect on me! lol
I like every veggie on the planet put together on a salad though!! Also any seed or nut and any cheese...ever!

Not crazy but super yummy - baby spinach, roasted red peppers (slice and microwave them till they're cooked then grill them in the oven for 5 or so minutes - or bbq them - yum!) avocado, cucumbers, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, an ounce of goat cheese (any type - but I like peppercorn the best) and a spritz of EVOO. Sliced chicken breast if I happen to have it.

I like salad with smoked mackerel, apple slices, and some nuts like walnut or pecan bits.

My favorite salad is spinach, turkey or chicken, blueberries, strawberries, walnuts or almonds, feta crumbles, and poppyseed dressing.

Ooooh, I love such posts !

My favourite combo is: mixed greens (Römer, arugula, iceberg), shredded carrots and zucchini, corn, a couple of black olives, green spring onions and lacerate ham! No need for dressings, the natural juice of the corn makes up for it :flowerforyou:

My favorite is:
baby spinach
strawberries
feta cheese 1 tbs
real bacon bits 1 tbs
almond accents honey roasted almonds with pomegranate 1 tbs
Light House Gorgonzola and Pear Dressing 1 tbs
I put all in large baggie and shake altogether, Sometimes I add grilled chicken or steak. So good!!

When I visit San Jose's restaurant, I love to order a tossed salad with pico de gallo and a dollop of sour cream. I also squeeze the lemon from my tea over it. It is my absolute favorite.

Walnuts and feta on salad is one of my favorite combinations!

I'd also suggest pine nuts as a topping.

My favorite crazy salad is chopped celery, grape tomatoes halved, grapes halved, chopped red peppers, chicken or turkey breast, and crumbled blue cheese with fat free poppyseed dressing. Love this!

the other day I was shopping at Meijer's in Michigan and evidently Saturday is sample day. I tried a fantastic salad that I never imagined that I would have liked and left the store with the ingredients:) Give it a try - the gal whom made the salad was lebanese and said that they use mint in many dishes. All ingredients can be adjusted to taste

one bunch mint - remove the stems and chop fine
1/2 bunch cilantro - remove stems and chop fine
one bag carrot "match sticks"
one bunch of green onions, cut off the dark green bits at the end and use majority of onion, chop fine
2 table spoons olive oil
2 table spoons lime juice
mild tabasco sauce -green in color - dash to taste
salt and pepper

I am not much of a cilantro fan, but still really enjoyed the salad - bon appetit:flowerforyou:

I made one the other day with

cottage cheese
diced cucumber
diced peppers
chives
diced tomatoes
herbs of choice (basil, oregano, sage)
salt and pepper
apple cider vinegar
olive oil

I mixed the vinegar, oil, herbs, salt and pepper together as a dressing and then stirred it all together. It was good the first day but REALLY good the next! I don't have measurements because I was just throwing stuff together but it was only like a tablespoon of oil and vinegar, not much.

There is one I buy prepackaged that I tried on a whim and loved it. It has spinach, dried cranberries & pears, pecans that are sweet/spicy, feta with balsalmic vinaigrette. I've tried to recreate at home but cannot find a dressing that tastes that good.

I make a salad that's just spinach, feta and craisins, sometimes walnuts if I have them, and I've used different variations of raspberry vinaigrettes that I've found. Wishbone has a super berry that's really good.

I had a salad the other day that was mixed greens from the garden, tomatoes, sprouts, blueberries (they're in season!) and nutty granola with a ginger soy dressing...it was delicious! The blueberries on it were awesome

I like strawberries and almonds in my salad too!

I'm going to second this.

I just made a salad the other day with baby spinach, strawberries, apples, chopped walnuts, and cilantro with lemon juice and a dash of pepper as a dressing and it was really good!

YES! I've had this, it's really good! I was thinking I hadn't had it in a long time and should make it again. I used ground turkey instead of beef.
