Salads 🥬🍅🥒

QVCkitty1 — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 00:01:37 GMT

Although I make most of my salads, every week I order a few of the pre- made ones. They are convenient and tasty. My current favorite is the Taylor Farms apple and walnut salad. It has chicken ,walnuts,, apples, cranberries, carrots, blue cheese and a sweet onion vinaigrette. If you are a fan of these salads , do you have a favorite ?

Taylor Farms chipotle salad from Costco (the one from Costco is better than Sam's Club and it's a little different). I add tomatoes and extra chipotle ranch dressing (the packet included is not enough). I usually also add more shredded cheese and additional tortilla strips that I buy at Publix. I also add black course pepper

I'm a homemade lover...several reasons only eat organic including vegetables like to know source of everything I'm eating this is not negotiable.

I don't buy any premade salads. We regularly eat entree sized salads with a protein as a meal but I make them myself. DH likes a basic salad. I like more enhancements in mine.

I too like to make my own salads, I keep a container of greens in a tupperware container and then just pull a serving out as needed. I usually add tomatoes, cukes, black olives, chopped mini peppers, radishes,shredded cheese, chicken or whatever meat I have in the fridge, anything that I have on hand.

I also like to make my own salads with romaine lettuce and any of the following: cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, red onion, green olives, croutons, cheese, and hard boiled eggs. Once in a great while I will buy the bagged salad if I am in a hurry.

We make our own salads too. Costco has wonderful small heads of romaine lettuce and their spring mix is very fresh. We also like to add fruit to the usual--peaches, pears. And Costco's balsamic vinegar (organic if I remember) is excellent on salads with a touch of olive oil!

And a mixed green salad with tuna and tart/sweet apples is always a favorite lunch here.

About twice a week, I make a tub of salad with the help of my food processor. I eat a salad at least once a day.

I occasionally I will buy a bagged salad if we are camping. I like the Asian salads with almonds and ginger dressing.

@QVCkitty1 That's my favorite too!!! At our supermarket it varies in price from $4.99 (rarely buy it then) to 2 for $6. That's when I stock up. Also like the Mexican fiesta, I think it's called. I stopped making my own salads and just buy these.

@Sooner - we buy those petite heads of romaine too. They're just the right size for a serving. I like the spring mix too. DH will eat it but prefers romaine or iceberg.

@JeanLouiseFinch Those little romaines are so fresh and crisp, easy to take the outside leaves off, wash and use! There is so much less waste too--which I like!

I have many faves--the dill pickle one is a fave and have used others too. I like them all but they need to be eaten up in a few days of they get kind of brownish---other wise I get the mixed salad greens in a clamshell and add whatever I have to it.
