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!).
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)
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.
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).
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!
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.

Hey, I like that hat, man. They sell men’s clothes where you got that?
Lettuce
Lots of croutons
Lots of bacon bits (crunchy fakies, not the chewy real ones, please)
LOTS of ranch dressing
