i put spinach, macaronis, chopped pieces of hard boiled eggs, cucumbers, sometimes pepper chicken, cheese (is it weird to put cheese in salad?), corns, and the dressing depends on my mood.

so, what do you put in your salad?
 
Everything and anything under the sun, it really depends on which kind of salad I am wanting.

My favorite savory salad is a taco salad, usually butter or iceburg mix lettuce, black beans with taco seasoning, cheese, olives, avocado, tomatoes, lots of cilantro, crushed chips and ranch dressing.

For a more sweet salad I really like all kinds of fruits in it, usually with a spinach/arugula mix, dried cranberries, mixed nuts, including walnuts, almonds all chopped up, sometimes even sunflower seeds, mmm, apples, maybe grapes too, some feta cheese or any other strong cheese is really good with the fruits, and usually I'll have a vinaigrette over it, my fave is raspberry, but there is a really great pear Gorgonzola that I have been loving.

I also really really love Cesar salad, and for that I just like it normal, but with lots of parmesean, shrimp, especially the bay shrimp in a big quantity and croutons that have soaked in the dressing and gotten a bit soggy. Honestly soggy salad is my favorite, like if I just made a salad and everything is all crunchy and stuff that's ok, but like, if I make a salad and wait until later to eat it and it's all wilted and the dressing has had time to soak into everything it's really really great ok?

I honestly love salads, I used to also be addicted to the bagged mix salads that have all the stuff in it? I used to LOVE the asian ones but they changed the dressing and now I don't like it as much... but yeah, salad is so good when it's done right.
 
i never even have salad lmao
i usually just have vegetable in meals and fruit on its own
if i were to have a salad, though, id probably have cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes with coleslaw
 
Heck no it's not weird to put cheese in salad. I thought I was weird for putting hard boiled egg slices in salad.

-Mixed Greens
-Spinach
-Cherry tomatoes
-Mushrooms
-Black Olives
-Green Pepper
-Hard Boiled Egg slices
-Shredded cheddar cheese
-occasionally chicken
-occasionally avacado
-Green Goddess or Ranch dressing, depending
 
Cheese is delicious in a salad! I usually put either mozzarella in it, or feta! Bell peppers are great in salads as well. Also cucumbers, eggs, onions... But all of that has been said already :) I'm so unoriginal though when it comes to making any foods.
 
lettuce, tomatoes, grilled chicken, shredded cheese, some kind of fruit, and either italian or caesar dressing. i really want saladworks now lmao

i loveeee salads
 
lettuce, cucumber, sometimes avocado if we have. bacon can be nice too if you need a more sturdy salad as well as chicken or pasta.

i hate tomatoes and such to ew ew and people who put peas in it whyyyy. feta cheese is kinda nice though
 
Just lettuce, sometimes cucumber, I LOVE ONION IN MY SALAAAAD, carrots if I feel like it, and my favorite dressing of all is Caesar. I almost never eat salad without Caesar dressing. I usually just eat the bagged salads because they come with lettuce and carrots, and then I add dressing and maybe onions. It depend on if I feel like cutting them.
 
Bacon bits, cheese, sunflower seeds, nuts, raisins, bascially whatever toppings I can find in my house ;P As for dressing, I usually have blue cheese, ranch, or caeser
 
I worked at a salad bar this past summer as a cashier, and part of my job was to wipe down the bar as well as stock the bar when we were low on something. I've had so many delicious salads, my favorites being the tuna tarragon pasta salad we have year round and the barbecue chicken salad that was made with iceberg lettuce, spinach, grilled chicken, tomatoes, corn chips, a really yummy dressing I don't remember what was in, and extra barbecue sauce on top. Delicious.

When I make my own salad, I go as follows:
Lettuce
Spinach
Onions (I absolutely LOVE raw onions. Call me crazy.)
Corn
Black beans
Olives
Feta cheese
Hard boiled eggs

As for dressings, I loved the avocado ranch we had for Cinco de Mayo but I only got to try it once. In general, I go with either honey mustard or fat free Italian dressing. Don't mind me, I'm just really passionate about my salad xD
 
lettuce, cucumber, spinach, blue cheese dressing, and some sort of meat, usually chicken

Boiled eggs (sometimes, they're not my favourite), grated cheese, cooked chicken or turkey slices, lettuce, tomatoes, kale. Mine aren't very exciting. I hate cucumber and celary so those are not options. I'm quite fussy with food in general
 
My favourite 'salad' is tomato salad - tomatoes, red onion, sweetcorn, cucumber and chickpeas, then I mix lemon juice and white wine vinegar for the dressing
 
im so basic usually it's just lettuce, cucumber & spinach w chickpeas and fruits (like small berries) i know it's weird to add fruits but the dressing i always use is this raspberry thing lol i hate savory salads

or just caesar salad tbh
 
Pfft I can't enjoy salad if it's just leaves with dressing. It's gotta be chaotic for me.
I throw in mixed lettuce with spinach and carrots, cut up green onions, bacon, sometimes a bit of chicken if we have it. Then it's dried cranberries, rasins, sunflower seeds, and sometimes cashews. And it's definitely not weird to put cheese on it! I load it up, haha!
 
honestly salads are not my type of food, unless they're fruit salads. i like to have watermelon, rockmelon, strawberry, kiwi, grape and basically any nice fruit under the sun. if its like the healthy salad **** i like chicken schnitzel, cheese, egg pieces and leaves lmao.
