We've had a topic on salad dressing, but it seems salad itself has gone overlooked... tossed to the side, so to speak.  ;)

Do you like salad? What do you like in your salad?

Me, I love it, with iceberg lettuce, lots of ripe tomatoes, cucumber and green pepper. If I'm feeling particularly adventurous, I'll add in a little fresh chopped garlic, homemade bacon bits, freshly graded cheese and maybe sunsflower seeds and dried raspberries.

I like a Caesar salad every once in a while, especially when I get the chance to go to Olive Garden.

MMMmmm salad. :)

I can't eat peppers and I HATE celery but most other salady stuff is good so i tend to make it with whatever is in the fridge! Can't eat too much cucumber but you can never have too many tomatoes.

Love salad.

I'm kind of a kitchen sink kind of girl.  Whatever I find in the fridge goes in the salad.  Mostly though, I aim to put darker green lettuce (like Romaine) or maybe Spinach leaves.  Cucumbers, grape tomatos, button mushrooms.  Rarely do I put cheese in my salad (when I'm making them at home) I'd rather have tons of veggies instead.  But I'm not gonna turn down cheese if I find it in a salad at a restaurant.  ;D

On salad bars, I love to put "unusual" stuff in my salad like: chick peas, green peas, occasionally pepperoni (if it's there) but I tend to stay away from meat on the salad bar.  I never used to put them in my salad, hubby introduced me to chow mein noodles, and they are tasty, but seem kinda fattening being fried(?)

I feel fancy when I get a salad with lettuce, but also has fruit in it (like Strawberries), I don't even know why I consider that fancy schmancy.  ;D

At the risk of sounding totally one dimensional......I like my salad with a big burned slab of meat in the middle!  ;)

I'm too carnivorous for salad. 

I LOVE salads! I like to use lettuce, cheese, black olives, mild pepper rings, oriental noodles, croutons, and sunflower seeds. Yummy!

My favorite dressings are: balsamic vinaigrette, french, and ranch.

I also love Caesar salads!!

I love salad...especially the kind made with Romaine lettuce...

Caesar Salad is a favorite of mine...but as for a basic salad I normally use Romaine lettuce, Japanese cucumbers (the kind you don't have to peel!), carrots, red onion, mushrooms and cherry (or grape) tomatoes... :D

I can't do salads...I end up burning 'em!  :P ;)

What I like in my salads: Any varierty of lettuce, carrots, beets, radishes, leaf spinach and tomatoes.

Not vegetable ingredients I like in salads: Sunflower seeds, croutons and most cheeses.

I'll eat almost any of the usual stuff in a salad.  Can't stand chick peas in it though.

oohh..I forgot about those..I love em! :)

I am not picky....I will pretty much eat anything on a salad.  Except celery!  8-P

Chopped watermelon and/or cantaloupe is great on a salad also.  Yum!!

I love salads in the summer, not so much in the winter.
I like Greek salads the most, Feta cheese and olives are tasty!

Caesar Salad is my favorite but at the salad bar or at home the salad goes like this:

Lettuce, romaine when available and very little used, it takes up too much space for the good stuff.
Jersey Tomatoes in the summer, cherry tomatoes any other time. Carrots, bell pepper, jalepeno pepper,
celery, cucumber, red onion, hard boiled egg, sharp cheddar cheese and pepperoni topped with Caesar
or Russian Dressing.

Yes, I love salads!  :D

What I like in my salads -

Romaine lettuce
Iceberg lettuce
Spinach leaves
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Radishes
Shredded carrot
Garbanzo beans

Chicken Caesar salad is one of my favourites. I also like my home made tuna steak salad.

On Wednesday evening, I went to the Slug and Lettuce pub in Muswell Hill with my Key Worker Linda and a group of fellow housemates. I had a baby-sized Tuna, Lime and Coriander Fishcake salad. It was cute and really delicious and I may have it again in future.

I love everything in my salad except evil disgusting carrots... Vile disgusting things  8-P 8-P 8-P 8-P
