I was raised by a yankee (north-eastern) woman...who used iceberg lettuce...and I thought that was the only kind of lettuce that existed until my mid-20s...heheheheh...I always thought that the other 'leafy' things in the produce section were Kale, Endive, Arugula, and whatever else 'greens' might be...so I'm an iceberg kinda gal...the others taste bitter to me On that note....I make a salad for myself almost everyday...and everyday is different depending on what I have in stock at home If I were to make a garden salad for you, what would you want in it? A salad may be iceberg lettuce, tomato, cucumber, celery, black olives, croutons, carrot shavings...maybe red (yeah I know they're purple) onion...that's the usual...but I'll also do things like bacon bits, pickled beets, cabbage, spinach, chicken tenders, shredded cheese, tuna salad, ham, turkey, hard-boiled eggs, and other things to really make it a meal if I'm not eating heavy the rest of the day... What would you absolutely NOT want in it? No nuts...they taste bitter with my salads Variety of salad dressings, just one fav, or none? I never really ate dressing on my salads until I was in my late 20s...I've gone through phases when it comes to dressings...now I'm in my Zesty Italian or Honey Mustard phase...hehehe...but I've been through Catalina, Thousand Island, Blue Cheese, Ranch, flavored ranches, and others...now it's mostly looking for the 'lowest saturated fat' dressing  Salad dressing on top, or on the side? If I'm out at a restaurant...definitely on the side...because most places glop dressings on salads...and sometimes I 'dip' at home...heheheheh |
