Senshik Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I love salads especially for lunch and sometimes dinner. This thread is a bit of a bite off from Nanno's thread, save mine is about salads. I know us girls always trying to find the healthiest way of eating tend to go for salads. So I thought why not share some of ideas for salads! Well I got this idea from a salad I once ate at a resturant, but I changed it a bit to fit my perferred tastes... so I call my salad... well actually I don't have a name for it. I just make it and eat it. It's delicious. Ingrediants, Spring Mix Salad (comes with green romaine, red romaine, tango, lollo rossa, green oak, red oak, mizuna, arugula, frillice, red chard, radicchio, frisee, curly endive, and spinach) 1/2 cup of yellow corn Mozzarella cheese (I get cheese sticks and slice it - erm.. not the fried stuff, it's the string cheese.) Can of TUNA Salad dressing (I use Newmans' Own Olive Oil & Vinegar) YUMMMMY and it fills me up everytime. SHARE YOUR SALADS!
soldier of fortune Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Good thread sen, Sounds lovely sen, must try it sometime. Thing is salads tend to be boring, but with a bit of imagination they can be tasty meals in themselves.
Nanno Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 This is a good one Sens Well i usually make up my own coz i don't like buying premade up ones. I line the bowl with lettuce leaves, depends on what you like - chop up some cucumber - add some cherry tomatoes - some chopped red onion - gotta have pickled onions - hard boiled egg, into quarters - cheddar cheese cubes - sprinkle of pine nuts You can add dressing too if you like
Senshik Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 Sounds great, I gotta try that one. OH I lovvve cucumbers. Sometimes I just make a quick salad with tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, and a bit of salt with squeezed lime juice (add to your tates). I like mine amarga (spanish for sour)!
Nanno Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 mmmmmmmm can't wait for summer!! sometimes baby potatoes are nice to add too
Senshik Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 you irish and yer potatoes! seriously, I know it's such a cliche thing, but how often do you guys use potatoes in your dish...? I mean, man after the fammine, I would figure you might be wary of potatoes or something... well maybe your great grandparents ...
Nanno Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 hahahahahahahha we have potatoes nearly four times a week i think
Senshik Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 Guess it like us hispanics, we eat rice & beans with everything. It's not considered a real meal unless you have those two ingrediates somewheres... (I'm speaking Nicaraguan peeps... and most hispanics... but i'm sure theere's a couple nations out there that don't eat it as much..)
TulipO Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 mixed greens feta cheese spiced pecans or walnuts, whatever sliced green apple some sort of fruity vinagrette. I like orange. Oooh! Adding blackened chicken or bacon to it makes it completely awesome.
archangel Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I love Caesars...but I don't digest leafy greens :(
Lycaon Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 An occasional salad is nice. Maybe with some sliced carrots, raspberry vinaigrette dressing, dried fruits (some dried cranberry, perhaps), and chopped nuts (almonds or pecans). Tasty.
Lottie Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Raw, finely diced garlic, olives, feta cheese, spring onion and balsamic vinegar...Otherwise, pasta sauce. Really, Lloyd Grossman can make a meal out of anything.
the division of joy Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Sardine salad... (Its nice, trust me) Chop some red and green peppers, spanish onion, iceberg lettuce, rocket, mange tout/sugar snap pea and some cucumber... sprinkle some sesame oil over them and toss slightly add tinned sardine (preferably one in a tomato sauce) Absolutely delish.
amynicole Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I love salad! My ideal salad would be romaine, corn, pico de gallo, black beans, Jack and cheddar cheese, tortilla strips (way unhealthy, I know), tons of cilantro, and some kind of slasa ranch, or jalapeño buttermilk ranch. Yum! I also like ceasar without the ceasar dressing. Maybe with a tomato basil vinegarette or Parmesan ranch. Or a chicken salad with tomatoes, cheese, blackened chicken, and honey mustard. Oh and grilled onion. Damn I'm getting hungry.
