Lately, I've been eating more salads, which got me to thinking, what do you like on your salad?

Me, I like

*spinich

*green onion

*red onion

*sliced black olives

*sliced beets

*dried cranberries

*sliced cucumbers

*cherry tomatoes

*sliced hard boiled egg

*broccoli

*sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese

*croutons

and for the dressing, I love ranch, but I use an olive oil vinaigrette.

So, what do you like in your salad?

My fork.

I think you nailed my favorite salad toppings, Yuban. I like sunflower seeds, parmesan cheese and small bits of cauliflower.

I like to add a bit of protein in the form of tuna, grilled chicken breast, or grilled steak. And a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles is tasty.

All of the above and bacon bits especially with blue cheese dressing. Love sprouts but quit buying them for some reason -- guess it's time to revisit sprouts.

A long time salad eater here! Like various things.

Gee, and here I thought I was the only one who loves sliced beets

I like a bit of crumbled cheese on salad: gorgonzola, blue or Israeli feta. I love a salad with bite size apple or pear chunks and gorgonzola, made with a sherry vinegar dressing.

I read that some people like to put StarKist Tuna Creations on top of greens and other basics, the Ranch is a big hit. I just got a couple at the store yesterday to try, including the ranch. No dressing needed for the tuna and it's a nice hit of protein.

Maybe you stopped buying sprouts because of one of the salmonella scares. There's been quite a few.

That's the reason I stopped getting sprouts, in fact, I don't see them at the stores anymore.

There were numerous recalls. Something about the structure of the plant etc. makes them more vulnerable to contamination.

I got violently ill from eating sprouts once. Won't touch them any more. I even pick them out of Chinese food if I can. (Though I'm hoping that the salmonella is killed when the sprouts are cooked.)

I also love craisins, pecans, and feta in my salad.
