Salads: hot or not?

Healthy Eating

Just wondering... Does anyone here eat salads when they aren't forced to? Do you ever make your own or do you just order them/ let your parents make them?


I have to be in the mood for

I have to be in the mood for a salad but they are damn good when I want one. Also I enjoy them much more when someone else makes it. I almost always hate my salads. I can't never get the dressing right!!

Salads are great; dressing is important

I agree that salads are important (plus tasty), since they provide fiber and the colorful veggies (peppers, tomatoes, etc...) give lots of vitamins.

But it's also important to dress salads with something that contains fat. It actually helps you absorb all those vitamins. (Unsaturated fat, such as olive oil--yum--is fine for you in small amounts.)

um

Not really my bag twighlight... Yogurt and salad don't do it for me.

What types of junk food do you have?

diff

hey i'm foreign so we kinda have a diff idea of salad at my house lol
our salad is like the green salad strip stuff..watever its called, lots of chopped fresh tomatoes, chopped fresh onions, chopped fresh cucumbers, and then mix it with yougart, just plain yougart its reeaally good i like cant stand the salads they have at restaurants and stuff. i like my version XD

salads are healthy--dressings not so much

Salads are a great way to get important nutrients trhough vegetables and fruit in their best form (raw!)--but stay away from fatty dressings (which usually ruin the entire effect).

I love almost any salad--but my favorites involve a base of romaine lettuce.

I love salads

I love them good.

Re: Salads: hot or not?

I love how versatile salads are. If I am in the mood for something sweet, I can add some dried cranberries or mango to a salad. This way I am eating something healthy and delicious.

Re: Salads: hot or not?

I do eat salads when I'm not forced to (especially caesar salads!), and it feels good to each healthy foods, since I'm such a junk food addict!

Re: Salads: hot or not?

Re: Salads: hot or not?

I think it is so important to have salads and balanced meals every day, because there are so many health problem you can get now from not eating right.

Re: Salads: hot or not?

Re: Salads: hot or not?

Re: Salads: hot or not?

I think salad is hot. I'm a big health nut and I think more people should eat salad without be threatend.

Re: Salads: hot or not?

CHICKEN CAESAR SALADS ARE
AMAZZZING!!!

Re: Salads: hot or not?

Yeah!! i eat them almost daily and helped to bring a salad bar to my school's cafeteria...who said healthy couldnt taste good?!

Re: Salads: hot or not?

Salads are pretty good- as long as they have awesome dressing! (I'm a sucker for vinegar myself.) But if it's not a classic salad with oil and vinegar, I'm definitely all for a Caesar salad.

Re: Salads: hot or not?

Salads are great! I wish I had the time to prepare one every day!

Re: Salads: hot or not?

I loooooooove salad! I don't know why. Almost every day I make some tahini dressing, rip off a few lettuce leaves to dip in, and enjoy!

Re: Salads: hot or not?

sure do!!! i love cesar salads alot. my dream salad is iceberg lettuce with onions, cheese, shredded carrots, and italian dressing.

Re: Salads: hot or not?

I love eating salads, but it really depends on the dressing. I don't like the original Ranch dressing, but I do love my own dressing; that would be the only reason why I would eat salad, if I could dress my own salad.

Re: Salads: hot or not?

I do! I never thought of myself as a veggieholic, but I think I definitely qualify.

I have a friend who absolutely hates vegetables, but I'm trying to get him to convert little by little. Carrots aren't so bad, right? How about broccoli?

Anyway, they're affordable, versatile and fun.

team salad.

Re: Salads: hot or not?

no i mean they dont have to eat it. its their choice to.....

Re: Salads: hot or not?

I sure do!

I love salad. I don't know what is it. Maybe its the refreshing taste of it? Especially when they add additional toppings to the salad such as chinese noodles or strawberries and almonds to make it extra delicious.
