Answer 2

Here are some favorite family recipes from a family cookbook I assembled last year. Really, I think any salad is good as long as the ingredients are fresh and good.

Grandma’s Coleslaw

3 ½ tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp half & half
½ tbsp sugar
1 small cabbage, shredded
1 can crushed pineapple

Blend and serve. (Flavors probably “marry” better by sitting in the refrigerator for a while.)

Grandma’s Lettuce and Banana Salad


Prepare any lettuce in the usual manner and add sliced banana. Dress with a sprinkling of sugar, a little salt and pepper, and either sweet or sour cream. Dairy sour cream, which is thick, must be diluted with lemon juice to the thickness of heavy cream.

Aunt Doris's Pea Salad


1 can peas (I use frozen)

2 hard-boiled eggs, diced

American or Colby-type cheese, diced (probably ¼ to ½ cup)

onion, grated (about ¼ cup)

2 or 3 small sweet pickles, diced, or pickle relish

1 tbsp. or so of mayo, enough to make it stick together, but not soupy.

A little salt and pepper

Assemble and chill.

Answer 3

SIMPLE GREEK SALAD

Julienne a Green Pepper and red onion. Place in a bowl. Add 3 tomatoes cut. Add 1/2 jar kalamata olives. Cut and cube Feta Cheese. Sprinkle a bit of oregano around the bowl of veggies. A little mince garlic. Add some olive oil and lemon juice. Salt & pepper to taste.

If not zippy enough in flavor for you then you can add some italian dressing or vinegar and Mrs. Dash original (yellow cap)

Answer 4

All I do is just make a normal salad with the various types of lettuce (spinach, romaine, etc.--no iceburg) and chopped up baby carrots, baby tomatoes, etc. Put onions in if you want them. I get organic or locally grown, which always tastes better because there are no pesticides.

Answer 7

My favorite salad is:

Chopped romaine lettuce
Sun dried tomatoes
Marinated mushrooms and artichokes
Fresh (and the key word here is FRESH) mozzarella cheese .. either cut into large chunks or the small fresh mozzarella balls.
Balsamic vinaigrette

Toss it all really well and serve with some good bread or breadsticks!

Answer 8

A reallly good Honey Mustand. I also like oriental dressings as well. Anything that isn't normal store stuff like Ranch, Bleu Cheese, Thousand Island, VInegar and Oil, etc. But to each it's own - so there is no 'bad' answer.

Answer 9

I like to make my salads the following way.
lettuce
tomato, sliced
cucumber, sliced
carrots, sliced
celery, sliced
green pepper, cubed
green onions, sliced (including the green part)
salt and pepper to taste
salad dressing
As to the amount of each depends on how many will be eating it.
I like ranch, itallian, oil & viniger and other salad dressings.
