I always buy a pack of romaine hearts from Costco or baby spinach from the market, but it always goes bad because I never know what to do with it :( Usually I just like Caesar salads, but that gets old after awhile. Loving these recipes, though!</p> <p>And yummmmm to Souplantation. I load up my tray w/ two plates and go to town with the Wonton Chicken Happiness, Joan's Broccoli Madness, and tuna tarragon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-60119 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:35:48 +0000 looch 60119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat salad as a meal when there is no other option, lol. I don't particularly care for lettuce, so if I do eat a salad, it's more along the lines of a whole bunch of shredded veggies, like zucchini, carrots, cabbage, beets, etc. with some kind of vinegary dressing. </p> <p>Growing up though, we had salad every night as part of our dinner's second course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-59210 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:46:38 +0000 lemondrop 59210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the fillings and the dressings, I really could do without the lettuce honestly. I do like arugula though, the spicy kick makes it more interesting than regular lettuce. Plus it lasts forever in the fridge. </p> <p>My favorite is beet, tomato, and goat cheese though. </p> <p>From months 2-8, I absolutely was repulsed by anything salad or veggie though. My first and last months though salad was all I wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-59151 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:46:00 +0000 MaisyMay 59151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spinach, strawberry, chicken, apple, some sort of nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-59137 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:39:51 +0000 mrscheesefries 59137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make "leftovers" salad at least once a week with pretty much whatever we had for dinner earlier.</p> <p>The other day I had spinach, romaine, cheese tortellini, goat cheese crumbles, craisins, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, lemony baked chicken, &amp; carrots - all drizzled with olive oil. YUM! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-59046 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:10:53 +0000 Crisark 59046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love salads!!<br /> I'm plain and boring though lol<br /> I like mine to have:<br /> Mixed greens<br /> Green Olives<br /> Shredded Carrots<br /> Broccoli crowns<br /> Shredded Cheese (cheddar or Mozz)<br /> croutons<br /> Grilled Chicken<br /> Tortilla strips for crunch instead of the fattening french fries that I really want lol<br /> Ranch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-59014 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:41:52 +0000 DillonLion 59014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll just step out on a limb and say I HATE salads. I'll eat them occasionally but I'll never ever be able to eat them everyday. Yuck. I like all the fillings but I just don't dig on the leafy parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-59007 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:32:07 +0000 MH.Abroad 59007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go to salad though is this -<br /> Shredded Cucumbers<br /> Shredded Purple Onions<br /> Shredded Carrots<br /> Shredded Tomatoes<br /> Sesame Oil<br /> Lemon Juice<br /> Soy Sauce</p> <p>Mmmmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-59005 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:30:18 +0000 MH.Abroad 59005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to put chickpeas (garbanzo beans) on my salad for protein, since I'm vegetarian.

I eat either baby spinach, strawberries, blackberries, chicken, goat cheese with maple balsamic dressing and candied nuts, OR romaine, chicken, black beans, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes and ranch dressing. SO GOOD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58821 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:45:24 +0000 banana 58821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOOOOOVE souplantation. I got there every Friday with a friend of mine who also loves it. I pig out on the salad bar and the pizza. LOL.

I don't have a go to salad but some of my favorite ingredients include spinach, hard boiled eggs, pickles, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, and avocado. I practically drown my salads in red wine vinegar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58744 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:07:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 58744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to keep on hand: baby greens, goat cheese, craisins, sliced almonds OR candied pecans, garlic &amp; cheese croutons, olive oil &amp; balsamic vinegar. That's my go-to.</p> <p>One of my very favorite salads of all time is The Melting Pot's house salad. I recreated it at home and it was great. It's: iceberg lettuce (I know, tsk tsk!), shredded cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, sliced hard boiled egg, garlic &amp; cheese croutons, honey mustard dressing (must be a creamy kind). Yumm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58712 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:44:54 +0000 sulli301 58712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love salad too! I love mixed baby greens, spinach, a fruit (apples, dried cherries, cranberries, etc), a cheese (goat cheese or blue cheese, please), slivered almonds, pecans or walnuts, and a balsamic dressing or a yogurt based creamier dressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58710 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:42:17 +0000 Rescuemom10 58710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm salads!

Hey no judging here! I eat a ton of unhealthy things so I get where you are coming from based on a taste preference! I'm the same way! I was just wondering if you had some like secret insider info that I wasn't aware of yet :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58694 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:23:52 +0000 Rubies 58694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: HAHA, it has nothing to do with health - it's a taste preference. I LOVE canned corn but I'm sure it has zero nutrition in it. :) I find that if I use frozen corn, it just doesn't taste the same...LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58686 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:09:17 +0000 winniebee 58686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my faves is:</p> <p>- Arugula<br /> - Toasted pine nuts (literally put them in a pan and toast them for a few minutes)<br /> - Grape tomatoes<br /> - Shredded Parmesan (or whatever cheese you like, my husband uses chevre or goat cheese)<br /> - Mushrooms<br /> - Dried cranberries<br /> - Balsamic &amp; Basil Vinaigrette.</p> <p>Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58682 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:04:17 +0000 MrsBrewer 58682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Why never frozen corn? I believe I've read in a few places that frozen corn is actually better than canned? I could be wrong though!</p> <p>Your salad sounds AMAZING though! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58668 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:43:50 +0000 Rubies 58668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE salad, too! My salads are huge and there are more "others" than there is lettuce!</p> <p>- romaine lettuce<br /> - carrot<br /> - celery<br /> - red pepper<br /> - lots of corn (canned or fresh, never frozen)<br /> - tuna<br /> - shallot or red onion<br /> - olives<br /> - banana peppers </p> <p>Weird, huh? I just love it all together...I'm salivating right now.</p> <p>If I use spicy tuna from the cans, I don't use a dressing. </p> <p>My favourite dressings are:<br /> - balsamic/olive oil<br /> - lemon/garlic/olive oil </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58667 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:40:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 58667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love arugula too! So spicy and tasty.</p> <p>My favorite salad is arugula or baby greens with goat cheese and apple slices (candied nuts go well with this too). Also love baby spinach with pancetta (and sometimes hardboiled egg) and lemon juice for dressing. Or greens with avocado chunks and tomato. </p> <p>One other – spicy tuna (just mix some sirrachi and lemon juice into a can of tuna), with avocado chunks over mixed greens. Yum.</p> <p>Really good olive oil and balsamic vinegar make all the difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-salad#post-58651 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:22:21 +0000 mrsjyw 58651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE LOVE LOVE salads.
