Your favorite salad? What's in it?

simseema17 · Jul 26th, 2008, 12:43 AM

So mine, not the healthiest, but I can change it up to make it healthier:

Lettuce
baby carrots
cucumbers
red peppers
Hard boiled egg
crispy chicken strips (like tyson)
honey mustard dressing
a little bit of shredded cheese

the healthier version sub ins: egg white instead of egg, grilled chicken instead of crispy, lite honey mustard, and no cheese or red fat cheese

what are your fave salads? I'm trying to get some recipe ideas here

White chicken (crispy if possible)
jicama
butter lettuce
baby carrots
cabbage
radishes
tomatoes
w/bar-b-que sauce
maybe some smashed tortillia chips on top
YUM

My mother makes this salad with candied walnuts and mandarin oranges, which I love more than anything. It's soooo good.

But since it takes a little while and you need a lot of ingredients, I usually get balsamico vinegar and extra virgin olive oil and put the dressing on mesclun lettuce and throw in dried cranberries, blue cheese, walnuts, and maybe something like cut up apple or pear. Maybe some chives or parsley too.

Red leaf lettuce
Mandarin oranges
Sliced cucumber
Crumbled feta
Croutons or sunflower seeds
Citrus vinaigrette

Yummy!

Romaine lettuce, feta cheese or parmesan, honey mustard or creamy blue cheese dressing, hard boiled egg, small slices of tomatoes, croutons, cucumber. So unhealthy.
