I've been eating salad for lunch at work every day. I make my own, and have tried quite a few things. So I want to compare opinions and maybe get suggestions.

I like spinach and arugula best. I think raddichio tastes horrible and bitter, and kale tastes like dirt. I hate iceberg lettuce, and I can bear (but avoid) other varieties of lettuce.

I like putting baby tomatoes, diced onion, feta, cucumber, and homemade tzatziki (which I make with non fat Greek yoghurt) on my salads. I also like bell peppers and carrot.

Green beans, edamame, beets, sweet peas, and mushrooms are disgusting imo. I also refuse to put fruit on my salads.

For protein I like to use chicken breast or tuna best. But I use egg sometimes too.

As I said, I make my own dressing cuz it tastes better and is healthier.

What about you guys?

I enjoy putting salmon on salads. Spinach is defiantly a go to for me since iceberg lettuce taste too watery. I like the whole concept of chef salad (turkey, ham, beef and provolone cheese), carrots are a must with every salad and I love goat cheese with strawberry on salads.

Other salad toppings I like are cucumbers, kalamata olives and egg.

Grilled chicken on salads is delicious!

I just buy whatever green leafy thing takes my fancy, I like green crud and stuff my face with it several times a week, I even eat leaves and blades of grass but not as much as I used to as that's where insects and birds go to the toilet, not my favourite salad topping :(

I don't have really a favorite, I like them all as long as they are vegan. Very nice with French bread and a good glass of wine. O yeah, green or black olives can make a salid extra delicious.

Like Lisa and xxZeromancerlovexx, I like spinach too. However I eat it only with dinner/supper, in an Italian vegan dish. I recently found deep-freezed spinach mixed with vegan cream. Hmmm, delicious. :heart:

Potatoes and boiled kale usually goes in mine.

I put Tahini on literally everything though. I think I'm addicted to it.

My favorite salad consist of 7 greens:

Lettuce (most of the salad is lettuce)
Tomato
Red bell pepper
Cucumber
Carrot
Apple (not too sour)
Maize

topped with hamburger dressing. We use it with fried chicken and pommes frites, løvbiff and pommes frites, spring rolls and rice, and fried chicken in baguettes (needs less salad than the other dishes).


My favorite dessert salad:

One or two types of melon (honey melon is perfect for this)
Kiwi
Blueberry
Raspberry
Strawberry
