Greek salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, red onion, a little romaine, and mint. Dressing is lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.

Arugula, prosciutto, and burrata cheese tossed with basil olive oil. Sometimes I add beets or a peach.

Of the chain salads? Zoe's Tossed Greek.

This is the best with a pasta dish and good garlic bread:

Wahoo's Chicken Salad. No Tortilla Chips, No Cheese, and No dressing. EXTRA Salsa.

YUMMO.

I've never gotten a salad from Wahoos, their tacos are so tasty! I will have to try this next time I go, it looks awesome.

I cannot handle mixing salad and fruit. Does not compute.

I feel so uncultured, bc I'm the same way. I will occasionally enjoy craisins or dried blueberries in a salad, but generally not even those.

I LOVE salad, but no fruit. No.

Oh, and zaxbys salad is my favorite grease bucket salad. So good!

Try it! If you've had their chicken tacos you'd know how good their grilled chicken is. The salad comes with guacamole too. SO DAMN GOOD.

I buy the Panera Asian dressing and use that at home.

I like my home salads with spinach, pears and candied nuts.

I love taco salad. Now I want one for dinner.

But at home my go to is mixed greens/baby spinach/baby arugula, cherry tomatoes, shredded or spiralized carrots, roasted artichoke hearts, olives, goat cheese. Dressed with oil and vinegar mixed with Penzeys Italian Dressing blend

My favorite to make that I haven't had in ages is spinach, avocado, raw green beans, blueberries and a strawberry vinaigrette. So good!

Chix Breast
Thick-sliced, diced bacon
Tomatoes
Butter Lettuce and Spinach mix


Dressing:
1/2 Avocado

prepare dressing in blender. I wouldn't use the dressing past more than a day or two bc the egg.

I am generally not a salad person but Panera catered our event today and there was a salad that had dried apples and chicken in it that was really good. And the dressing was some sort of apple cider goodness.

Same here.  Fruit mixed with anything other than more fruit is wrong.

I love greek salads and lately I've been getting salads from the Whole Foods salad bar with kale, mixed greens, edamame, wheat berries, brussels sprouts or cabbage, and quinoa with their Thai dressing.
