So do we. 40 miles to the nearest gas station (Roy’s). Not so much hiking as glamping, but the spirit’s the same.
That’s a pea salad. That’s a classic dish. Here is a web site with a recipe.
Ree Drummond, the “Pioneer Woman” Food Network celebrity chef, she has her own version which she grew up eating.
I’ve had pea salad before, though without the onions the above recipes call for. (I can’t digest onions very well so I avoid them like the plague, even though fried onions are delicious.)
My thoughts exactly. It’s okay, it tastes fine (nothing to be excited about), but it tends to be really rich. It works well as a small side item at an outdoor Summer BBQ.
“Salad” is a remarkably versatile word. No one has yet mentioned macaroni salad or 4 bean salad.
Yeah, meat is hardly worth thinking about excluding. Especially if it means denying the existence of BLT pasta salad.
Salade Olivier: half a hazel grouse, two potatoes, one small cucumber (or a large cornichon), 3–4 lettuce leaves, 3 large crayfish tails, 1/4 cup cubed aspic, 1 teaspoon of capers, 3–5 olives, and 1 1⁄2 tablespoon Provençal dressing.
I had a couple lady bugs in a salad at a restaurant.
Lazy kitchen didn’t wash the lettuce properly.
I flicked them out of the bowl and enjoyed my bug free salad.
And, of course, in Hungarin, it’s pronounced ‘shalata.’
ETA: Those Ross Sisters were insane!
It also rules out anchovies.
Seriously, I put one of those in mr mouth once. Def not made out of food.
Had a lovely tortellini salad yesterday. Tortellini, black pitted olives, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, seasonings.
I’m going to side with
“If you offer me a salad, i expect something plant-based. Something made up mostly of cut up raw plants. And if you give me a serving of tuna salad or potato salad, i will feel misled, despite the word ‘salad’ in the names of those foods.”
In my experience, if someone offers a generic salad it will indeed be a plant based dish to accompany a main course. Any other sort of salad (tuna, potato etc) will be specified as such, and I would have little to no recourse to feel misled.
As always, YMMV.
I’m gonna recommend you just close your eyes if you ever come across the salad section of a Thai menu.
Laab muu is one of the best salads ever and I’ve had steaks with more greenery on them.
But similar products are available. I’ve bought McCormack Bac’n Pieces at my local store. It’s even vegan (if that’s important to you). Here are some other brands.
I think most “bacon bits” are vegan, because soy is cheaper than pork (and also easier to make shelf-stable).
Now I’m salivating over the memory of the crying tiger steak salad I had a couple years ago. Mmm
