Salad Much?

[Cassi]

I always put blue cheese into my salads at home just because it creeps out my girlfriend's mom.

I'm getting ready to have a salad sandwich but I do use Bleu Cheese all the time.  Some are good and some not so good as far as taste for me.  But I prefer it over all the others.

Thousand island before my keto diet, now I just squeeze lemon and or lime.

I love a really good Caesar. As simple as can be: Romaine, Croutons, Parmesan (real stuff, grated), and a good homemade dressing (most bottled Caesars are pretty bad honestly, Newmans is okay-ish). For an extra kick, some good white anchovies chopped up and tossed with it. I always eat it with grilled chicken or salmon, usually seasoned with this spicy italian blend (it's just garlic, red pepper, oregano, basil, and I think marjoram, found it on clearance at Walmart and loved it). Also, bacon jerky over regular bacon is a nice change, just chop up.

Raw vegetables define all salads. I just buy what looks good in the produce section of my local market.

When it comes to dressings, look at the calorie content, then decide how much to use. some of those dressings are very high in calories.

Note: my favorite condiment is Yellow Mustard. Zero calories and goes well with any salad with grilled chicken on top.

I have a backbone salad and add stuff that may be fresh at the time. I find I need some 'crunch' in a salad to let tummy know that mouth has done something.

Roughly chopped red cabbage, spring onions, rough chopped mushrooms, chopped walnuts, carrot and capsicum. I then, as I said, build on that with whatever is fresh at the market (slice of wombat, fricassee of koala etc).

I can also use this as the basis of a stir fry if I so desire.

I make enough for about 5 days at a time as making a salad from scratch each day is a little time consuming, if I have it ready to take some as needed it is more likely to get used up.

I never use dressings on a salad as I like them too much. They are a bit like whiskey for me, best left in the bottle

I like basic leafy vegetable salads, such as spinach salad, standard house salad with lettuce and carrots, romaine lettuce is good too, especially so as a must in Caesar salad.

For other ingredients:  Love those tomatoes, the little cherry ones or sliced, many cheeses, dressings, and sometimes toppings like bacon bits.  Mushrooms and eggs on top can be yummy too.

I love Blue Cheese will have to get the crumbled cheese and other fixings except cranberries.

The goat salad.

Spring mix and baby spinach for the leafy part.  Sun dried tomatoes, pine nuts, dried cranberries and goat cheese crumbles for the toppers.  Balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

I enjoy a spinach salad, Caeser's salad, and traditional "house" lettuce and tomato type of salad. 

I never cared for salads such as bean salads.

My favorite salads are Cole Slaw, Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, and when I am really hungry for a salad, I make it my main dinner entree... a full size Chef's Salad with tomatoes, cukes, lettuce, bell pepper, black olives, green onion, and perhaps Avacado  (if I can get a fresh one up here where I live) and/or other things I can find in my fridge... then I top it off with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and my homemade Italian Garlic Dressing.   mmm, mmm.  good!

I forgot to post this picture last week.  I made a large Chef Salad for 2 of my friends and myself to share for lunch over the weekend.   
I put everything on it...  Romaine Lettuce, Tomatoes, Bell Pepper, Cucumber, Celery, Hard Boiled Egg, Sliced Mushrooms, Sliced Beets, Dill Pickles, and Black Olives.  We topped it with fresh grated Parmesan Cheese... and my homemade Italian dressing.

I ate a Caesar today and made sure to stab it repeatedly with my fork.

I've been making a salad with kale/romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, celery, green/yellow/orange bell peppers, and fresh parsley. Kinda got tired of salads though

My mom told me I look like I've lost weight and she looked kinda shocked. Then an hour or two later she proceeds to tell me "I don't know what you're doing to yourself". Well geez, I guess my diet is working then?! Hehe

Good for you!

Any leaves but iceberg lettuce... bell peppers, celery and cucumber (which I don't like, but let's face it I'd rather be eating a bacon sandwich than a salad anyway, it's for the Greater Good), tomatoes, grated carrots, beetroot, olives, vinaigrette and pine nuts. Pine nuts all over everything.

Hadn't made a salad in awhile so last night I made a nice big salad with lettuce, green cabbage, kale, spinach, arugula, cucumber, onion, olives, crumbled bacon, a chopped ham slice, homemade croutons, crumbled gorgonzola, Kraft shredded Parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheeses mix topped with ranch dressing and ground black pepper and crushed red peppers - Oh, and a sprinkle of Grill Mates Chipotle seasoning mix

It was a nice break from my list of same ol' thing recipes and had just the right mix of Creamy, crunchy, hot, sweet and spicy
