Trader Joe's makes a cilantro dressing in their refrigerated section that is similar but spicier.</p> <p>- I make Greek-style salads by cooking ground chicken, turkey, or beef in a skillet with garlic, oregano, paprika, and some mint from our garden. I make a fast dressing by blending Greek yogurt, salt and pepper, garlic, some cucumber, and jalapeno or parsley if I've got it.</p> <p>- Parrano cheese, croutons, and apple slices in a Dijon mustard/lemon/olive oil vinaigrette. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-favorite-salad#post-1665037 Thu, 29 May 2014 09:48:23 +0000 Smurfette 1665037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: ha!</p> <p>My favorite at home is red onion, tomato, chicken, feta, and bacon pieces.

No lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc.</p> <p>wait.. that's fruit salad. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-favorite-salad#post-1664928 Thu, 29 May 2014 09:18:49 +0000 nana87 1664928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I basically make the same dressing always: olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, whatever fresh herbs we have (mint or basil usually), and a touch of sugar if I'm using bitter lettuces (I love radicchio). My favorite combinations to make for myself are endive/white beans/scallions/Parmesan, or apple/fennel/scallion/goat cheese. Or if I want a more filling salad, couscous/kale/radicchio/scallion/cherry tomatoes/white beans </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-favorite-salad#post-1664866 Thu, 29 May 2014 09:05:08 +0000 heartonastring 1664866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lurve me some Cobb salad.</p> <p>I also love southwesterny salads with romaine, black beans, roasted corn, avocado, seasoned chicken and chipotle cilantro dressing.

This is one of my favorite salads... I bring to all the holiday parties I go to and it's always a hit. :D</p> <p>This makes about 4 servings </p> <p>1/2 pound bacon, cooked and chopped<br /> 1 bag of baby mix greens<br /> 2 apples, chopped (I used Honey Crisp)<br /> 1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette (I used Trader Joe's)<br /> 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped<br /> 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese crumbles</p> <p>To prevent the apples from turning brown, place them into the dressing as you chop them to completely coat the flesh. Then toss with the greens, bacon, and walnuts. Sprinkle the cheese crumbles on top and serve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-favorite-salad#post-1663445 Wed, 28 May 2014 16:26:29 +0000 sandy 1663445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like doing a variety of salads </p> <p>Greek - cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion, and tons of feta cheese</p> <p>Taco - black beans, shredded cheese, ground beef, lots of tomatoes </p> <p>Asian chicken - shredded chicken, pineapple (crushed or tidbits), shredded carrot, cucumber, cilantro, green onion </p> <p>Lately my favorite has been Greek salad bc of the salty olives and feta cheese </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-your-favorite-salad#post-1663443 Wed, 28 May 2014 16:25:39 +0000 charmed 1663443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite is blue cheese, walnuts, apple slices, and chicken with a blue cheese vinaigrette.</p> <p>I also like to do chicken, salsa, corn, guacamole, and shredded cheese for a mexican/southwestern salad.
