gwalchmai Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 8/9/21 Nobody really likes salad. It's actually all about virtue signaling. What's your opinion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle atop ground beef and cheese, between halves of bun. Probably need carrots and bell pepper also. Take away the bun, chop up and place in a bowl, add dressing and crackers… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I love a good salad. I love vegetables. What I hate are people who tell me if I love veggies, I can’t love meat also. Like they are mutually exclusive food groups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAKA Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Salad...Have to be in the mood for salad...A nice WEDGE SALAD is good, but then again its mostly the dressing... HOOTERS used to have a great Chopped Salad, they would put all the "good stuff' (cheeses, egg, bacon, turkey, ham etc) on top so you could eat all of that and just some of the "grass". Ever notice how much lettuce gets thrown away? Could cut the lettuce in a salad in half and still dump a lot of it... Talk about a STEAK... we shared a huge COSTCO PRIME last night, it was about 2" thick....Grilled, sliced, had a mixed green salad with baked goat cheese on top (Oh and a small baked potato) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthefrey Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I guess we'll disagree on this. Crisp romaine lettuce, Romano tomatoes, Red Onion loops, a few cucumber slices, a side of cottage cheese and maybe a peach wedge. Top it with sunflower seeds and a sprinkle of bacon. Light drizzle of Catalina dressing and we're ready to go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthefrey Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Another great one is using baby spinach as the base, apple slices crushed walnuts, diced tomatoes, and raspberry vinaigrette with a sprinkle of bacon bits. Guess what we're having for lunch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peng Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Love me some salad. The garden is spitting out cucumbers and tomatoes faster than I can keep up. Tip - get a salad spinner if you eat them a lot. An amazing device that dries out everything so dressing can stick (and you use a lot less) and keeps the lettuce crisp and fresh for a long time. I love olives, cottage cheese, peas, chick peas, 3 bean mix, beets etc etc. Endless variety and so refreshing on a hot day. Might be one of the only things I wouldn't put Ketchup on too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I love a great salad. Almost as much as I love great meat. Then again...my meat eats salad...therefore...its only natural. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Cut up some lettuce. Lightly Coat it with olive oil. Sprinkle on some garlic, onion and chipotle powder and stir. To add some protein or flavor, add a can of peas, black beans or green beans. cooked Ground turkey is always a nice addition as are corn chips. Or, in place of all that, stir in a can of tuna. Top with some apple cider vinegar. Enjoy as is or wrap it up in a flour tortilla burrito. It's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmohme Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 On a hot day. I prefer salad to most other options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbie18 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Is it still a salad if it includes meat? I love chicken salads, particularly ceaser salads with grilled chicken on top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I love salad, especially when all the ingredients come out of my garden. Having said that, I'm a dressing snob - I dislike store-bought dressings and prefer to make mine fresh. I'm currently trying to recreate the orange-lavender vinaigrette that was on the sliced roasted beet, goat cheese, and pine nuts over arugula salad I had while out to dinner on vacation. We'll see if I get it right later this week... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwalchmai Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 We go to a little Italian place called Provino's in Chatt. It's a chain around here. The food's OK, but the bottomless salad bowl and garlic rolls are worth the trip (the garlic and olive oil balance out the bread and butter... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
