In reply to Sarah. I had this salad once before at a baby shower. Delish!

I’d like to add a variety of veggies + I’m also a fan of cream dressing w/ yogurt or avacado + don’t forget the herbs! Nom nom! Cool chart!

You do realise that tomatoes and cucumber are a fruit….?! )

I love red grapes through our salads.

My favorite salad is spinach or spring mix for the greens topped with [canned, drained] mandarin oranges, strawberries, pecans, feta cheese and basaltic dressing.

I personally like a more savory salad. Cucumber, red onion, kalmata olives and an apple cider vinegar/olive oil dressing is perfection. I also love a lemon/honey/mustard + olive oil dressing. Okay, I actually love green salads and always have :)

My favorite is avacoda, tomatoes, boiled eggs and bacon bits.

So I just read that avocado is technically a fruit, as are tomatoes. We just started eating salads as a regular occurrence and I like cucumbers and cherry tomatoes on mine, along with the greens this is my base, then everything else. We like sliced mandarin oranges on ours, as well as sunflower seeds and the indulgence of a few croutons.

Yum! Having just come back from a month in Italy it is interesting to see that the Italians have a plain green or mixed salad to start in order to get the digestive processes going before eating their carbs and protein. But the reality is that all too often we don’t have the time to have a staggered meal. You’ve hit the nail on the head with this – I like a great combination of flavours in a salad and my general rule of thumb is to have either cheese or meat or fish or eggs as the third ingredient (leaves and nuts/fruit being the other two).

Nah, I prefer my salad with lots of fresh veggies. No fruit; I’m not a fan of mixing my sweet and savory foods together. A good salad in my house includes greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion (preferably red onion) to start. If I have them in the house, I’ll add peppers and carrots. And then I top it all off with some of your Mustard Vinaigrette because I LOVE that stuff.

Which reminds me that I bought a whole bunch of salad fixings at the Farmer’s Market this week…
