Who else loves a good salad 😃

I love salads, but unfortunately salads with raw lettuces and kale don't necessarily love me back. I'm living vicariously through the pics though!1

If it has a leafy base then I'm not eating it unless I have no other option and I'm starving lol1

@dragon_girl26 I like baby spinach as a leafy base for a salad, rather than lettuce - can you do spinach?
Raspberry Chicken Salad
* Spinach base
* Grilled chicken, cubed (marinate the chicken in the dressing before cooking for maximum deliciousness)
* Mandarin orange slices (canned is fine, just drain them; if you have whole, cut them appropriately)
* Sunflower seeds
* Craisins
* Raspberry vinaigrette dressing (or raspberry-walnut, but the plain raspberry is best IMO)
Russian vinigret salad is also delicious, this is how my Russian professor in undergrad made hers:
* Beet, carrot, and potato, boiled about 45 minutes and then chopped small
* Raw onion, sour pickle, cabbage/sauerkraut, all chopped small
* One or two tbsp of oil (sunflower is typical, olive is fine, vegetable is also okay)
* Salt and pepper0 -
I love the fried onions they sell in the salad topping section....so good on top of a giant bowl of veggies and blue cheese crumbles.1

Here is a favourite salad idea resource

we eat a lot of grilled chicken salad and side salads.
I can bulk it up for hubby (who has no weight issues and if anything could gain a few pounds) and keep it lighter for me.0 -
I love all salads but a chef salad is my favorite!! 😍😍0

I like a 1/2 head of Romaine grilled cut side down on a griddle with a pat of butter.1

Did someone say salad?? 😉 Yep love em. 🥗
Through the years I’ve been experimenting with different greens ... it’s not just spinach and kale!
So many varieties. Recipe depends on mood...
sweet lettuces and a spritz of EVOO & balsamic are my go to lately... also like watercress and microgreens with avocado... there are still a ton of greens I haven’t tried.. it’s on for 2021

We rediscovered retro waldorf salad recently when we had a lot of celery stalks to use up following a recipe that called for celery leaves. We lightened up the classic recipe by using a combination of ranch dressing and yoghurt instead of classic mayo. The trick is toasting the chopped walnuts in a scant amount of butter and a generous sprinkle of salt. Some diced celery and diced apple with raisins tossed in your mayo substitute, sprinkled with the walnuts. The occasional pops of salty walnut or sweet raisin is what makes this salad sing. We lined the plates with a little lettuce.

Oooh might have to give that a try; I have all of the ingreds. except raisins. And it looks mighty tasty! Thanks for sharing0 -
I also love salads but not in the winter. Once it warms up in the spring I will go back to them as a main where it includes protein, vegetables and sometimes cheese, nuts and/or fruit. I prefer the salad to have a lot of different things on it.1

A salad we have been having a lot recently because the hubby bought a bunch of discounted overripe pears. Salad with pear, blue cheese, and candied nuts. I keep these on hand for pimping up salads containing salty cheeses. Heat up a tablespoon of sugar in a dry frying pan. When the sugar caramelizes toss in chopped nuts and whole seeds in a single layer and turn off the heat. Allow to cool, break into small pieces and store in jar.

I like a good salad. But, as a crohns sufferer, I have to watch it with all the ruffage. Ugh I'm craving one lately.2

I was born and raised in Italy. Salad there is an everyday thing. Usually salad one meal and cooked vegetables the other meal.
Now I eat salad everyday and sometimes twice a day. Think of a vegetable and it's there in my salad. I alternate ingredients everyday. I add also fruit, sometimes legumes, other times seeds and nuts.
One thing they have in common... They don't fit on my plate. I use a mixing bowl add plate lol.2 -

Same thing. We in the north of Italy call it focaccia, in Rome they call it pizza bianca.0
