We are having some people over for dinner tonight and I am going to have a salad as one of our sides, but need some ideas for toppings.
What do you put on your salad?
-
spinach, spring mix, chick peas, my husband loves red onions, I would stay away from nuts in case of allergies!
Mrs. Sketchbook's looks super delish!

@regberadaisy: Good thing you mention that, one of our guests does have allergies...he is allergic to beans I know for sure, but not sure what else...thanks for reminding me to consider that!
-
Onions, tomatoes, cheese, croutons, olives, hard boiled eggs..... that's all I can think of but it's a start!
-
i like spinach, chick peas, green peppers, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, hard boiled egg, broccoli
-
red peppers, cheese, carrots, shallots, sunflower seeds or toasted nuts, tomatoes (if in season), sometimes i throw in some corn, broccoli, avocado
-
My new fave salad is the ready made Pesr Gorgonzola. I find the dressing a little too wet so I add sliced apples, extra spinach, and for more color pomegranate seeds or craisins.
-
I'm currently obsessed with spring mix, spinach (I love extra spinach), craisens, walnuts, feta cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. Definitely doesn't work if there's a nut allergy, though...
-
My go to is red onion, tomato, cucumber, feta, bacon sprinkles, and lo mein noodles or croutons.
-
I like to do "Olive Garden" salad when we have guests - red onion, black olives, tomato, banana peppers, croutons, and romano cheese... though shredded cheddar is yummy too.
My favorite salad is not healthy and not everyone loves it, but easy - Caesar!
-
My husband makes our salads, he is great at it!
We have:
Lettuce, cucumbers, onion, banana peppers, croutons, parm cheese, bacon bits and I'll get tomatoes if we have them in house. -
For my personal salads: spinach, carrots, cucumbers, red peppers, green peppers, hard boiled eggs, croutons, sunflower seeds, red onion
-
Daily for work- hard boile egg, chick peas, sliced pickles (thanks @Rubies.... best idea ever!) hemp harts and goat cheese.
-
I like to change up my salad every now and then and will make it more on the sweet/sour side. I top my spinach with granny smith apples (thinly slice), golden raisins, sliced strawberries, walnuts/almonds, chicken breast, and a homemade balsamic raspberry vinaigrette. Plus, the colors makes a beautiful salad presentation.
-
Cucumber, avocado, cherry tomatoes, a little arugula, fresh mozzarella balls and crushed pita chips.
Or, toasted pecans, pear, blue cheese crumbles with a cherry balsamic dressing - SO good!!
-
Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and walnuts with poppy seed dressing or strawberry dressing is a goto when we have guests.
-
I have a few that I like to rotate for guests, or picnics/potlucks:
A good spinach salad with sliced strawberries, toasted pecans, goat cheese, and poppyseed dressing.
A BLT salad with wilted greens (spinach and kale), diced cherry tomatoes, marinated tempeh, and a honey mustard dressing.
Another salad I like to make when it's warm outside is a mixed green salad with red onion, mandarin oranges, and smoked tofu with an island soyaki dressing.
You can always substitute meat instead of tofu or tempeh. We're not vegetarian, but I really enjoy both ingredients.
-
Spinach, cranberries, walnuts and goat cheese with vinaigrette dressing!
