I mostly use romaine lettuce but I also like spinach and other mixed greens. I love cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and sweet peppers in my salad. Sometimes I change up my vegies if I am making a specific type of salad like south west or Asian salad.

I like iceberg but there is not much to it nutritionally.  I am not a fan of romaine.  I use spinach for the base of my salad.

I love the toppings on a salad more than the greens.... mushrooms, onions, sunflower seeds, edamame, nuts, craisins, sesame seeds, chinese noodles, carrots, cucumbers, you name it

I have taken up growing my leafy greens indoors.....I grow sprouts.

I have kale, broccoli, alphalfa, various salad combos......

So, winter or summer, I have fresh greens to add to sandwiches, cottage cheese salads with tomatoes and broccoli (which I grow in our garden), and sprouts of different varieties.

So healthy....in sprout form they can be as much as 50x the nutrition that the full grown veggie has.

Easy and fun.

Romaine or iceberg, I know it's a waste but I like the texture. Mixed greens are good except for the leaves you get in there that are bitter or taste like eating grass clippings from your back yard, I don't know which they are or what they're called so I sometimes avoid altogether.

I'm not a person who eats salads a lot, I eat it when I have a taste for it. Mostly chef salads.

I get the giant bag of lettuce greens from Sam's Club for like $2.00 & add spinach while I'm making it.
I like to add in red onion & avocado in my salads, almost always. I try to eat a salad daily, but don't always get to.

I stopped eating salads, I learned only iceberg lettuce is good for you and I just take vitamins.


Actually, iceberg lettuce has the least vitamins of any of the lettuce types.  When I eat tossed salad I usually use mixed spring greens and toss in everything but the kitchen sink that I have in my 'fridge.  In fact, if I don't have enough items to put in that I consider it a good salad, I won't bother making one.

I like to use butter lettuce in salad along with a variety of veggies like cherry tomatoes, avocados, diced cucumbers, diced red onion, diced red or orange bell pepper, cauliflower florets or broccoli and maybe a little grated cheddar cheese or feta or bleu cheese crumbles.  Sometimes I'll use coarsely chopped walnuts (or toasted almonds), dried cranberries and mandarin orange slices with cherry tomatoes, crispy, crumbled bacon and chopped hard-boiled egg on a bed of baby spinach.  There are so many wonderful vinaigrettes to whip up yourself or purchase these days that make these salads mouthwatering.
