Can you top this?

A salad, that is. What do you put on yours?

The little market near where I work has a great salad bar, so I go there pretty much every day. Here’s how I load up…

I start with a combination of iceberg and spinach lettuce. Then I top it with sliced mushrooms, black olives, hard-boiled eggs, sliced turkey, artichoke hearts, sunflower seeds, bacon bits, croutons and thousand island dressing (they don’t have blue cheese, or I’d use that occasionally as well). No onions and no tomatoes (blech!).

(Can anyone tell I’m hungry tonight? Feed me, Seymore. FEED ME! Hehehe)

I’m not picky, so long as they’ve got feta cheese. Mm mm good!

Dammit. Now I’m getting hungry.

Have you ever tried frumunda cheese? It’s a little salty but oh well… :wink: :::ducking:::

I like a good Caesar salad with the mini shrimp on it.

I am not a veg head, so I load as much as I can:

ham shreds
turkey shreds
hard boiled eggs
sprouts
chedder cheese
cucumber
croutons
and whatever else happens to be there I like
swimming in Italian dressing (occasionally, I like a good Green Goddess dressing, but rarely a creamy one)

I like nuts on my salad. Particularly pistachio’s and cashews. Also kidney beans. Sounds weird, but tastes good.

Forgot one major item, even though it’s on the side, cottage cheese, I love that stuff!

< grumble, now I am starving >

Salad is my absolute favorite food! My favorite one is iceberg lettuce and spinach, with bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, cucumbers, carrots, turkey, garlic dill pickles, green and red onions, a little bit of garlic, pumpernickel croutons, dry rice noodles and ranch dressing, topped with fresh chives.


I always try to do things in chronological order.

I make a salad that is really simple, looks very elegant, and is awesome if you’re throwing a dinner party.

Bibb lettuce
Feta cheese
Dried cranberries
Slivered almonds
A garlic vinaigrette

Don’t toss!

At a salad bar, I like:
Regular salad mix (nothing fancy!)
Cheddar cheese
Garbanzo beans
Bacon bits
1000 Island Dressing.
Some croutons and a few cherry tomatoes.

Yuuuummmmmmmm.

well if I go to a salad bar, usually they have iceberg lettuce soo…

on top of that I like:
-tomatoes (sliced or cherry)
-sprouts
-crumbled hard boiled egg yolks (just a little)
-cheddar cheese
-croutons
-red onion
-red beets
-crumbled bacon
-chick peas
-ranch or bleu cheese dressing (I only like italian if the salad is mostly lettuce)

Anyway I don’t usually like when we have salad here because my parents don’t always buy all of those things, and we usually only have italian (gets boring after a while).

I’m a salad minimalist: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, celery. None of your weird breads or meats, thanks!

Atop it, no dressing—just lemon juice. Maybe lime.

Alfalfa sprouts, carrots, sunflower seeds, chopped hard-boiled eggs, broccoli, bit of chopped mushrooms, dry chow mein noodles, sprinkle of real/fake bacon bits and real ranch dressing.

After downing a plate of this rabbit food it’s onto the medium-rare steak and the much needed cow blood infusion.

Fried catfish and white gravy.
seriously, I just like pepper, cheese, and Italian dressing on mine (Caesar’s salad).


You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.

Awwww, yeah! Chow mein noodles make a salad! And for some reason, they seem to taste the best with Ranch dressing.

My salad dishes are always an accompaniment to healthy portions of meat, so I’ve never figured out why it’s so important to have meat in my own salads.

That said, I like my tossed salads nice and simple:

  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Chopped onion, green onion
  • Sliced radishes
  • (Sliced cucumber optional)
  • Cheddar cheese cubes
  • Golden Italian dressing

My caesar salads are even simpler. Just give me lots of croutons! :slight_smile:

My typical salad: that crunchy lettuce that they sell in the store with the roots still on it, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, scallions, grated carrots. For the dressing, I go the cheap/easy way and use Paul Newman’s italian dressing. (Though sometimes I’ve been know to try and make my own with oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, mustard.) If I’m in a carnivorous mood, I’ll throw some tuna in there, and/or some feta cheese.

Simple and easy! I am unable to eat a salad without plenty of bread available though.

My usual salad:
Lettuce
Carrot
Cheese
Chicken
Salsa

Mmm… salsa salad.

And buried yourself in lies instead.
Next time I would rather be slain,
Than forced to bear your mercy again.

At the salad bar I take
-Lettuce
-Tomatoes (Wedges or cherry tomatoes)
-Sliced cucumber
-Green pepper
-Ham and/or turkey shreds
-Hard-boiled eggs
-Sprouts
-Shredded cheese (as many kinds as they have)
-Carrot shreds
-Croutons
-Ranch dressing

I like my salads to be meals.

Hey, I like that hat, man. They sell men’s clothes where you got that?

Ugh. Rabbit food. When I must eat salad, it gets:

Lettuce
Lots of croutons
Lots of bacon bits (crunchy fakies, not the chewy real ones, please)
LOTS of ranch dressing
