Sounds minging! I like a Greek salad similar to IamnotSpats´ except Id have sundried tomatoes instead of standard ones.

I don't want to know what minging means.

mixed greens with cranberries and pumpkin seeds

spinach and mandarin orange bits

or iceberg/romaine with cuke, carrots and sunflower seeds

Coleslaw and Croutons.

DO YOU USE A SALAD SHOOTER?

WOW sounds delish!

CarrieMpls said:

sounds lovely-the trader joes near me has salads with candied pecans on it...mmmm with raspberry vinaigrette

OMG!!!

I ate mixed greens from a packeage las night, and I found what appeared to be a stalk of seeded grass.

I am eating the same greens now for lunch and I swear there is a geranium leaf in my salad!

Baby greens, crumbled gorgonzola or feta, chives, diced pear, sun dried tomatoes or peppers, mushrooms, Kalamata olives, balsamic vinegar, cashews, hummus.

Basically, put any or all of those ingredients together, maybe top with some grilled chicken or salmon, and I'm a happy woman!

Spinach
boiled egg
slivered almonds
avocado
Parmesan cheese

With Balsamic Vinaigrette! So light and tasty.

ooohhh! I love salads. I have one almost everyday for lunch.
Salad and mango ice-tea.

My favorite salad would be a chinese chicken salad. Greens, sauteed peppers, stir-fryed chicken,roasted peanuts,asian dressing and a sprinkle of sesame seeds!!!!!

I used to make this one a lot, it's kind of sweet & pretty heavy

white corn
shredded carrots
dried cranberries/other fruit like fresh pear
celery
avocado
croutons or crispy chow mein or crushed tortilla chips
sunflower seeds
green leaf lettuce
balsamic vinaigrette

MarieAntoinette said:

orgy-anic or organic?

i like a very simple tri-color salad (arugula, mesclun and endives) with a nice raspberry or citrus vinaigrette and a slice of sourdough bread or two. i don't like too much stuff rolling around in my salad.

Among the normal things like lettuce, tomato, peppers etc, I always put bean sprouts, dill pickles and little bits of cheddar cheese.

Mixed Baby Greens
Toasted Pecans
Dried Cranberries
Sliced Apple or Pear
Bacon Bits
Red Onion
Blue Cheese Crumbles
Grilled Chicken
Some type of Vinagrette

heaps of baby spinach, small wet broccoli florets, bleu cheese crumbles, fresh ground pepper, oil & vinegar, with a heap of jalapenos on top and a side cup of whole pepperoncinis.

to mix it up, I add cucumber or raw zucchini, but it's rare.
