How do you like your salad? I am sick of the same old ranch and italian with garden. And I like greek at special occasions only cuz its so damn fattening and the low-fat stuff just doesnt taste the same. I love light balsamic vinegrett(sp) with any kinda salad. Sometimes I add crutons, beans or even pieces of chicken or fish.
I was gonna try blue cheese dressing but I couldnt cuz it looked like it was OIL. Although blue cheese is yummm but it adds alot of fat to an otherwise healthy meal so i usually try to stay away from cheeses, I love em though
I loved raspberry vin and that was pretty good too but I dont see me eating that too often, its one of those once in a whiel thign cuz you gotta have it with nutty salads.
I sometimes love eating salad the desi way…tomatoes, onions, raddish, cucumbers, lettuce with lemon juice and chat masala
I make mine exactly the same way. For the salad itself i use lettuce, grated carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, dill pickle, olives, bell pepper etc. Just toss with olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
i get spinach leaves (instead of romaine), grilled chicken, shredded carrots, beets, chickpeas, walnuts, feta cheese, (occasionally boroccoli and red beans) with salt n pepper and loads of balsamic vinegar (not the dressing..but just plain balsamic vinegar)
You know what else I do, I get the dole salads, spring mix it has spinach, baby lettuce, all kinds of greens and mix that with garden salad and it turns out good. Normally i could never eat spinach and all those greens but with the mix i can and it tastes pretty good!
I gotta try just teh balsamic vinegar, i think i have some
in my desi salad i put Zater in the place of salt and balck paperrs and its taste very great.and peoples usaully ask for what i add in the salad,i cutt 1 1/2 inch pices of cucumber,redish,carrots,tomatoes,salad leaves and add little vinegar or lemon,olive oil and the pink zater and mix it well,it taste great.
Well I always get my salads from those buffet places like food emporium I usually add romaine lettuceor iceberg lettuce.. tomatoes, either sliced or those tiny lil cherry tomatoes i think they’re caled.. sometimes chick peas, definitely grilled chicken if theres any there, if not, ill add a tiny bit of chicken salad.. i lov to add sesame seeds if there’s any, as well as lil bits of croutons..always topped off wiht a spoonful of fat free balsamic vinegar or italian dressing
Ira ,i dont make zater at home i buy from market the ready made,but there are many types of zater the one i use in salad is pink or maroon in colour and taste chutpata,and it gives good colour to salad .
