Wilted lettuce salad was the only way my daddy would eat lettuce so thats how we ate it. I did not like it so until I left home I did not have a real salad. Since then I love a chef salad with everything on it. Love vidalia(sic) dressing or ranch.

As good ol' Jerry Seinfeld would say, "What's the deal with ranch?"
Frankly, I find it gross.

My mom used to put tomatoes and tons of garlic in that salad. We gobbled it up like crazy.

Asian style peanut sauces are delicious with lettuce and salad.
I like Romaine shredded, arugula, tomatoes, red onion, sliced celery
with pressed or grated raw garlic mixed with heavy cream, salt and pepper tossed throughout. If I have fresh cilantro, that gets chopped and added too.

I usually have kale as my primary salad green and whatever else I have depends what we have on hand. Today it was kale, tomato, onion, red bell pepper, green onion, steamed carrots, radish, left- over green beans, some cooked soy beans, roasted garlic and balsamic vinegar. Of course that's not enough so I also had a big bowl of vegetable barley stew.

Tried kale. Not a fan. I'm stickin' with spinach.
Although I love Popeye not eating that canned stuff. Yuk.

Have you had the Apple Gorgonzola Salad from Buca di Beppo? This copycat recipe is spot on! Fresh romaine lettuce tossed in a delicious homemade Italian vinaigrette, topped with dried cranberries, candied walnuts, gorgonzola, and Granny Smith Apples!![Apple-Gorgonzola-Salad-The-Food-Charlatan-2-e1525960638911[1].jpg](https://www.seniorforums.com/data/attachments/138/138725-4de42262bdd8b85ddeb8393d5b4642fb.jpg "Apple-Gorgonzola-Salad-The-Food-Charlatan-2-e1525960638911[1].jpg")

We don't eat salads that often, but we stopped having lettuce years ago, and always use organic baby spinach instead. I usually add sweet onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, and red or orange peppers...sometimes mushrooms. My husband like spicy Catalina dressing on his, I used to like Ranch, but have been making my own instead. Mayo, red wine vinegar, Italian seasonings, parsley, chives, etc.
Sounds delish!!!
Are those cultured pears? lol @Aunt MargWell, I've never...
Guess I won't be inviting you over for peanut butter and lettuce sandwiches, Lew. LOL!

We used to have white shredded cabbage with our boiled bacon Liberty.....yummy
My dad loved "fried cabbage"...chop it about 1/4" thick, fry in skillet until tender with salt and pepper. Then make a dressing of evaporated milk, vinegar and a bit of sugar or sweetener. Its very good. Now you've made me hungry for it.
I must try that .....sounds Mmmm
