iceberg lettuce
avocado
diced feta cheese in marinade provencale (olive oil and herbs)
tomatoes

It isn a lovely salad that goes brilliantly with barbeque, bread and
tzaziki.

Iceberg lettuce, hearts of palm and fresh mayonaisse.

Simple salad, eh? My favorite, I s'pose, would be a thickly sliced ripe
beefsteak tomato atop a bed of red & green leaf lettuce, with a really good
vinaigrette.

I go to Golden Corral at least once a month and they have a really
good (IMO) salad bar. It pretty much satisfies my salad cravings. If
I could make a quick salad at home without any restrictions on
ingredients, I would make my salad like:
1/2 a cucumber
1/2 medium-sized onion sliced in thin, half-circles
1 large tomato, diced
sprinkle some beansprouts on there...uh...
5-6 thin slices of pepperoni...
tablespoon of cottage-cheese on the side
a few sprinkles of shredded cheddar cheese
sliced black olives
fresh mushrooms
cumbled bacon
lots and lots and lots of freshly ground black pepper (I'm addicted)
a tiny bit of ranch dressing, stirred into all of the ingredients
1/2 pound of fried chicken on the side. ;-)

Some type of green salad..specific type depends on the day. My hubby didn't
like green salads very much prefering the potato, cole slaw types, but
endive with honey mandarin orange sauce was a favourite of his.

I like to take left over couscous, and mix it with some chopped fresh mint
and some chopped apples, i like granny smiths, and raisins. It's a sweet
salad, but good.
also, left over couscous with chopped olives, minced garlic, and diced
cooked chicken tossed with a little pesto. yummy!

A very handy recipe Dimitri! Here is another one in the same manner.

CURRY ICEBURG WEDGES


Source: unknown


1 medium head iceburg lettuce
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (3 medium)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbs. finely chopped onion
2 tsp. curry powder


Core, rinse and drain lettuce thoroughly. Chill in plastic bag. To make
dressing, combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate for
30 minutes before serving to develop flavors.

At serving time, cut lettuce in half lengthwise. Then cut each half head
into three wedges. Arrange on salad plates. Serve with curried banana
dressing. Six servings.
