He knows... and I feel lucky to still have him! :-)
We lost mom a bit over 4 years ago and my sister moved to Arizona. <sigh>

Okay, let's start...

Favorite salad ingredients:

Romaine lettuce
Boston butter lettuce
Baby Spinach
Red or green leaf lettuce
Quartered hard boiled eggs
Sliced black (or sometimes green) olives
Shredded cheese, Mozarella, Monterey Jack or White cheddar
Cocktail Shrimp (salad shrimp have no flavor!)
Shredded fresh or fresh frozen crab meat
Shredded fake crab if I'm desperate
Various sliced meats to include grilled fish, grilled beef or shredded
chicken
Thin sliced cold sausage
Bacon bits
Fine shredded carrots
Sliced Avocado
Sliced Tomato
Diced cold cooked Asparagus
Artichoke hearts (canned or fresh)
Baby corn (canned)
Raw mushrooms
Raw Cauliflower
Raw Broccoli
Thin sliced Celery

That's all I can think of for now, but a walk thru the produce section
can inspire me. <G>

Preferred dressings are low fat mayo, Ranch or Ceaser dressings, or
Italian/Creamy Italian if I'm in a vinegar mood....
