Chicken ceasar is my go-to on the relatively rare occasions that I dine out - if I’m feeling like eating helathy-ish. Our store stocks a kale salad-in-a-bag w. pine nuts, and (I think) dried cranberries. Mighty tasty. ---

Go to salad for dining out out is the Cobb, if I can get the restaurant to sub feta for vleu cheese. At home, I make salad out of whatever is in the crisper or fresh in the garden or that I scored at the market. I avoid kale, but any other green or veggie is A-ok with me. I don’t hate store bought dresdings, but prefer to whip up my own if time permits. ---

My dining out choice is a wedge salad. At home it’s simpler; diced avocado, sliced hearts of palm and vinaigrette. ---

> [@MikeG](#): > > My dining out choice is a wedge salad. > … Okay, someone explain the wedge salad to me. I recall the first time I heard of it - my sister and BIL were taking us out to eat at their club, and said, “The wedge salad is excellent.” So I ordered it, and they brought me a plate w/ a honking wedge of iceberg lettuce! WTF? How is that even considered a DISH to come out of a professional kitchen? ---

power greens with a bit of iceberg, a sprinkle of dried fruit/nut medley, whatever else I want to fish out of a jar like olives, anchovy etc. then a grated or crumbled cheese, then the dressing could be creamy or a vinaigrette. finally topped with croutons or something crunchy, like Cheetos (k/nk) lol ---

Our two faves are both home made; Caesar Salad with chicken (usually leftover roast!), and garlic bread. Spinach with fresh thin sliced mushrooms, bacon bits, sliced strawberries, sliced hard boiled egg on top, slivered almonds, and a sweetish poppy and sesame seed dressing I buy at a local cafe! It’s tres yummy! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-go-to-salad/826898.md?page=2)
