What salad do you eat the most? Multiple ch... - Healthy Eating
Smoked mackerel
That sounds really delicious. How many times a week do you have the salad? 
4 times a week, home made soup other lunchtimes.
That’s great to hear! What type of soup do you have when not eating salads? 😀👍🌈🥗🍲
Whatever veg I have to hand, usually a selection from carrots, swede, parsnip, sweet potato, celery and leeks. Plus lentils and stock, often a stock pot.
i grate courgette , carrot , celeriac to make bases of salad then add onion raddish fennel celery watercress endive top with grated cheese bacon bits , sardines in oil nuts seeds dried fruit grapes and
dress with yogurt oil and vinega,r mayonaise ,hummus lemon or orange juice lettuce does not get a look in
Chicken and bacon Caesar Salad
That's good. I love chicken mixed in my salads.
Classic Greek salad but with jalapeño stuffed green olives
That sounds really good to add for a salad. How many do you add?
Usually 5 or 6 cut in half. I find it livens it up a bit. Had it with fresh oregano last week which was a nice change. Today’s was washed down with 0% alcohol red wine
Hello. Have you tried the Gordon zero alcohol gin. I am trying to find something a bit more exciting than water but doesn't contain alcohol. I have bought a non alcoholic white wine but am yet to try it.
Hi, not tried that yet. Wasn’t too sure about no/low alcohol alternatives as I like a “true” red wine or nice G&T. Just done dry January and, like you, want something that’s not just water. May try it next week
Have you tried Seedlip? I have one most evenings instead of gin and tonic as and it makes a very acceptable alternative.
I've never heard of it so thank you for your recommendation. I'll give it a go!
That sounds like a good combination.😀👍🌈🥗
I have Advocado tomato and lettuce with prawn cocktail
That sounds great! What dressing do you use?
Usually ceasar, but not much as there is Marie rose with the prawn cocktail.I have salad most days.
That sounds great!😀👍🌈🥗
Mackerel, Greek feta with olives, nuts, couscous, roasted tomatoes, green leaf salads, various pulses.
These are very healthy and a good idea for mixing certain foods together for toppings. What dressing do you use?
Almost always extra virgin olive oil (1tsp) and a few drops of vinegar). Occasionally sesame oil or chill based/Asian style. I never buy dressings, other than mayonnaise, which Imix with Fat free Greek yogurt. . I think it’s a waste of money and they go off, anyway, though I do sometimes make up a few days worth of dressing in an old mini mustard jar.
This sounds really good. I had salad with my dinner tonight. We had hummus and gluten free crackers with Greek yogurt and stuffed grape leaves with rice inside.😀👍🌈🥗
Italian ‘Tricolore Ensalata’: tomato, avocado and mozzarella dressed with balsamic vinegar and oil.
That's my favourite too.
That’s a good idea for a salad. Do you have it once a week? 😀👍🌈🥗
Yes, and I’m taking note of all of the delicious salad suggestions made by others. Looking forward to experimenting in future. Thanks for the lovely post.
That's fantastic! When you have a chance, please post some pictures of the salads you have for meals. We'd love to see them!
Thank you for saying that about the poll! Much appreciated. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Nope, don’t eat salad in the winter!
What salad do you have in warmer weather? 😀👍🌈🥗
Greek salad without the chicken. Homemade coleslaw with lettuce & cheese
That’s great! I have chicken in my salads when I had gone eat out ( before COVID-19 started). 😀👍🌈🥗
Spring onions and egg
What dressing do you use for the salad? 😀👍🌈🥗
Usually extra virgin olive oilSometimes I make up Jamie Oliver’s screw top jar dressings
What flavors do you use?
Extra virgin oil ,Dijon mustard,red or white wine vinegar,1/2clove garlic for french dressing
Sounds great!😀👍🌈🥗
I actually really like tuna salad. It'll sound dull to most people, but just tuna with salad leaves and some lemon juice for a dressing is absolutely delicious. I might add some cheese, onion, carrot or cucumber to it, but i'lloften just eat that on its own.
I sometimes have other types of salad too. If we're on the road and can't get anything gluten free, we usually default to a salad.
I kinda like my salads to be simple.
I love tuna when it is possible to have for salads. If we don’t have tuna, my next choices will be egg, salmon or chicken (depending on where we are at the time).😀👍🌈🥗
Love tabbouleh but unfortunately don't eat it often. I don't eat much salad during winter other than side salads. (Usually bistro, pea shoot or herb, bagged salads)
I love eating salmon and avocado salads, Mexican salad bowl & Buddha salad bowls in the summer.
Looking forward to warm weather food again soon 😍😌🥰
Everything sounds really great! I like a lot of salad bowls if it’s possible to get them when we were on the road before last March.😀👍🌈🥗
Mackerel, beetroot , salad leaves and balsamic 🙂
That’s a great idea for a salad. How many times a week do you eat it?😀👍🌈🥗
Beetroot, lettuce, cucumber, mixed peppers, celery and spring onions.
What dressing do you use? 😀👍🌈🥗
I eat salad all year- in the winter I make a warm potato and spring onion salad using the Lightest Hellman’s mayonnaise or a jacket potato with Philadelphia Lightest. I like salad leaves, red pepper and baby spinach with a balsamic vinegar and ham, chicken, turkey or beef cold meats. I also make an apple, celery, sultana and walnut salad again using Hellman’s Lightest. I always ring the changes to keep it interesting- add sweet corn and peas to the potato salad. I use chickpeas, mixed beans and add veg like coloured peppers, grated carrots and anything I have in the fridge.
All these sound really delicious. I love eating salad anytime of the year.😀👍🌈🥗
Usually a mix of lots of different salad vegetables, often with avocado/beetroot/ oranges/toasted sunflower and/pumpkin seeds and a homemade dressing.
What is the homemade dressing that you use? 😀👍🌈🥗
Different things mixed together including olive oil, flax oil or sesame oil / lemon or lime juice, cider vinegar, rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar / mustard, gomasio. Not all these ingredients at once!
Sounds good and nice to use as a rotation. Glad you can have lots of choices/options.
Donor kebab and salad.🤣🤣🤣
What is a donor kebab? What salad do you have with it? Dressing? 😀👍🌈🥗
Prawn and smoked salmon sandwich
That’s great! Do you have salad on the side? 😀👍🌈🥗
Celery, carrots, beetroot, red and orange peppers,baby spinach with lemon sprinkle on the salad and black peppers.
Is the lemon used like dressing? 😀👍🌈🥗
Yes, dressing is a few drops of lemon and one spoon of olive oil.
That's good to hear. Thank you for letting me know. We have some lemon juice, but no fresh lemons. May try the lemon juice to add for the salad next time I do a big salad.
Romaine, with shredded red cabbage, tomatoes and curly leaf kale add red onions and spinach Sometimes with vegan dressing or vegan mayo or often no dressing at all. Have it at least eight to ten times per week.
This sounds really fantastic! I’m glad you can add a lot to your salads each time.😀👍🌈🥗
Whole-wheat pasta salad! I love it with chickpeas or kidney beans, grated apple or grated carrots, cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn, olives, a good spoon of olive oil, salt and pepper... Combinations are endless, so yummy 😍
This sounds really fantastic! I will have to try this out soon after I check if I have everything here for the ingredients.😀👍🌈🥗
Garden salad.
Do you add any chicken or cheese for protein? What dressing? 😀👍🌈🥗
Mexican salad - lettuce & other green leaves, tomatoes, spring onion, red pepper, chopped avocado, crushed tortilla chips, kidney beans (heated in a frying pan and added just before serving). I often add cucumber, radishes and olives, plus sometimes grated cheese.
This sounds really great! What dressing do you use?😀👍🌈🥗
Usually Italian or French.
Those are two of my second and third favorite flavors for dressing choices.
What's your favourite dressing?
Raspberry Vinaigrette.
I use chicken, turkey, tuna and/or cheese and/or some form of fruit (raisins, craisins, apple, etc) depending on my mood at the time. Low cal Italian dressing. I ate this every day for lunch at work for 5 years and never tired of the combinations.
That’s fantastic to hear. I like craisins, apples and raisins with low fat/fat free dressing anytime.😀👍🌈
Chicken, turkey, tuna, etc. is good for protein.😀👍🌈🥗
Thai Mango salad
That sounds really good! I love mangoes on their own and in salads. Do you add them to fruit salads, too?
Yes. And we often have mango with Greek Yogurt and slivered almonds for dessert.
Here’s the recipe jessicagavin.com/crunchy-th...
Thank you for the recipe. Will look at it this morning before I have my lunch. Your mango Greek yogurt and slivered almonds sounds really fantastic, too. I had used cocoa flavored almonds in Greek yogurt before, but we ran out and we can't get any right now. Will have to wait for a few more months/weeks.
Lettuce,spring onions beetroot
What dressing do you use for the salad?
Cottage cheese and hard boiled egg.
Those are two of my favorites that do/don't always have lettuce with them. I use the cottage cheese for fruit salad when I can get the cottage cheese.
Iceburge lettuce stays crisp and lasts longer
Thank you for the information about iceberg lettuce. We get that sometimes when it's available.
Provided it has some leaves, beetroot and tomatoes and maybe cucumber it's my sort of salad. Then add whatever is handy, cheese, bacon, fish, cold meat, hard boiled egg, potato, more or less anything. It's never really occurred to me to have a specific recipe for a salad.
Everything you had listed sounds fantastic as an add-on or on its own. How many times a week do you have a salad?
My salads always have some sort of leaves,( favourite is Dolce Verde but difficult to find at the moment, I like the bagged bistro salad with beetroot from Asda or Sainsburys ) and tomatoes. Other things added depending what I fancy, peppers, cucumber, avocado, sweet corn, grated carrot, olives, grapes, celery. In the summer I’ll eat a cold salad with feta cheese, egg, salmon, tuna, pre cooked diced veggie sausage or burger, pre cooked Quorn pieces with multiple different herbs or spices and marinades depending on what I fancy. In the winter i usually have salad to accompany hot food. Dressings depend on what I’m eating it with. I use a small portion of full fat mayo, or blue cheese dressing, and I like using Nando’s lime and mango sauce as a dressing. If it’s a dish with sauce don’t need dressing.
This sounds really good and I like the idea of using a sauce as another option for dressing. We have some different sauces around here that I may have to try on a salad soon.
When I make myself a salad I use lettuce, red cabbage, red onion, cucumber, apple, tomatoes and olives all chopped/sliced up and mixed together with some home made mustard vinaigrette. I usually have this kind of salad with a cheese omelette. The other kind of salad I love is celery, apple, red cabbage and red onion, mixed with tuna, grated cheddar cheese and mayonnaise with a bit of Worcestershire sauce in the tuna. I sometimes replace the cheese and tuna with prawns. It’s my standard go to lunch other than home made soups.
Both salad options sound really good for lunch or a dinner. I usually either have tuna, salmon or egg added to my salads when they're big salads.
Yes, these salads can be either lunch or dinner. Another salad I often have is home made coleslaw with grilled halloumi cheese and peanuts 😊
Those are great choices for add-ons for salads. I love putting different types of nuts on my salads whenever it's possible.
Hi Leah another great poll, I eat lots of salad and eat beetroot onion spring onions grated carrot and I like having coleslaw with a salad sometimes. 😊🥒🍅🥪🥬
Thank you for saying that about the poll, Hidden . I appreciate that very much.
Coleslaw sounds good to add for a salad. Haven't tried that, yet, but will have to see what can be done.
Love my salads goes with a lot of dishes. Good Survey.
Yes, I enjoy having salads with lots of my meals, too. Helps with fiber and they are very healthy to eat in general.
Thank you for saying that about the poll.
Can’t eat acid things so couldn’t tick tomatoes I eat cucumber , Ramone lettuce green pepper, raddish.
Do you use the lettuce for big salads? What dressing do you add?
We just grab whatever is in the fridge, and chop and top. Salad....usually plants, we don't add cheese or meat.
That sounds good! It's a way to use the leftover items in the refrigerator. Great idea! Do you have salad once or more times a week?
We like mix salad - bit of everything. Peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, carot, celerry and cabbage- sometimes. Whatever vegies we have at home, we make salad 😀
We always have a salad with a lunch time sarni. Made up of whatever is in the fridge lettuce , toms , cucumber, celery, olives, beetroot, radishes. Love the crunch of a salad...
