Crunch crunch moistness mmm.

I think the thing which ruines salads for me previously is how frequently raw onions and tomatoes get added to them. Now that I took salads without those, turns out I like them. Also, all of the salads I liked had a grain addition (grain eater, please, no, not my salads!) which I think adds a lot. Salads are very nice: as long as they're more than just tomatoes, bitter leaves and raw onion slices - this is an abomination, idk why so many places sell this.

I'd formulate the ideal salad something like this:

  • green leaves (avoid too bitter ones) for green and crunch
  • sauce to moisturize it
  • a grain (the grains I had were white ones which don't look or taste like rice - they were moist on their own and very pleasant to add)
  • non-veg addition: e.g. falafel balls, nuts (e.g. walnuts), tiny toast cubes ("croutons"), tiny cheese cubes

Most has to be veg, but the addition of else is mandatory, especially the grain. Texture is such an important part of eating.

Enjoy your salads. :3

Green olives, roasted sunflower seeds, and apples. These are also some good salad ingredients.

I like green goddess dressing ideally on endive with those little baby tomatoes in all the different colors. Its one of my splurge food items i'd eat way more if I could along with kelp salad.

I like greek salads. My gf and I do home greek night and always start it off with a greek salad. I like mine with crushed black olives.

When I was still working in a kitchen, one of new found snacks was a salad with romaine lettuce, free protein from the naked & brined chicken tenders which I could sear and cut up, a bit of parmesan cheese, and a slight serving of aioli sauce was so good.

When I was a kid I got sent to a juvenile center for kids with emotional troubles (that also for some reason doubled as a senior center? it was strange) but that place was awesome. We had buffet breakfast and lunch and got two P.E periods in a day. Anyways every day for lunch there I would go to the salad bar and fill my bowl with croutons because they were crunchy and good.

green leaves + vinegrette + nothing else = peak salad

lettuce + thin raw tomato slices + cucumber slices + few raw onion slices + lime juice + salt is my favorite side salad. people need to remember to season their goddamn salads, it is the reason i hated my greens when i was younger my mom never seasoned them.

I'm bad at seasons. Is this spring already?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No, it’s fall.

A very painful season.

What if my salids right now are only tomatos?

Do you have saws recomendations

Do I need to use the big spoon for the grain?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Tomatoes are the goat, thinly sliced and seasoned with salt and pepper (add lime/lemon to take it another level) are already a good low calorie sidedish especially for fish.

First salt your tomatoes to season then to taste, then add plenty of sour cream to the tomatoes and mix to incorporate. Add pepper to taste.

Delicious.

If you have them, adding a cucumber to this dish elevates it even further.

Tomatoes are good smh
Onions shouldn't be served raw but boiled or at least run through hot water

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nah raw onion is great, it just needs to be thinly sliced so it doesn't overpower the other stuff.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Eat it raw, whole, with the skin on. Abbott style.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Hot water? Boiled onions? No thanks. Pickled onions yes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What does that do to the flavour, soften it?

Can’t believe the admins have allowed this place to become this disgusting. This rule 2 violation is so blatant that it makes my stomach churn. I’ve been here for a long time, trying my best to be a good salad comrade, and now people like you can just waltz around and flagrantly talk about eating my people. Disappointing.

Peak leftist infighting lmao

I don't like raw tomatoes either. It was a wonderful discovery when I first made salads that you don't need them. Salads are great, especially in the summer.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

try seasoning your raw tomatoes, they're great.
