What would you have in an ideal salad bar?

Question

I'm trying to help overhaul my University's salad bar contents (as there is not a lot and it gets monotonous). What would you have in a salad bar if you had unlimited options, but wanted it to remain healthy?

Answer 1

Mixed greens lettuce
chick peas
tomatos (not cherry i dont' like those)
cucumber
red onions
pepporocini
shredded chedder cheese
feta cheese
bacon bits
artichoke hearts
heart of palm (or palmettos)
alfalfa sprouts
olives (black and kalamata)
chicken bits
crutons
cottage cheese
beets
shredded carrots
bell peppers
mushrooms
fresh spinach
sliced radishes
hard boiled egg
sunflower seeds

These are all things that I like at salad bars (not all at once though...lol).

Answer 2

Leaf Spinach, Chick Peas, Mushrooms, Romaine Lettuce, Cesar Salad, Beets, Onions, Shredded Carrots, Baby Carrots, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Bean sprouts, Cherry Tomatoes, Bean Salad, iceberg lettuce, radishes, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, shredded cheeses and a variety of salad dressings.

Answer 3

Good for you, I won't eat in a place that doesn't have a decent salad bar which, to me, includes

Beets, red onions, sunflower nuts, cottage cheese (salad dressing too fattening).

THE MOST IMPORTANT Lettuce of different varieties for taste and texture, usually cafeterias buy some cheap mix that tastes like wax!

cherry tomatoes, cheese, broccoli

And an individual serving spoon for each item so one tong is not passed from place to place.

Thank u for caring.

Answer 4

Well in mine:

All different types of lettuce, and various salad veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc for a make your own salad

A variety of dressings and toppings like cheese (feta, Parmesan)

Some Caesar salad

Some potato and macaroni and other pasta salads

Some fruit salad

Some cut up veggies with some different dips

And the extras like pickles, olives, cold shrimp with seafood sauce, beets, cheese, deviled eggs.
