My perfect salad would be a combination of romaine and spinach, chickpeas, black beans, sunflower seeds, balsamic vinaigrette, and maybe some other veggies such as carrots and corn.

Red Onions  -- my usual salad is spinach, chicken breast, avocado, red onion, & sweet potato -- usually opt for the sweet potato fries.   It's a fat burning salad :)

My favorite items for a salad are olives, cheese, spinach, different fruits, seeds and banana peppers.  I can't eat anything spicy at this time so the peppers are out.

My favorite items for a salad are lettuce, olives, cheese, spinach, sweet peppers, carrots, onions, tomatoes, crutons, and I usually like Italian Vinagrette for the dressing.  Also, like chick peas.

One of my favorite things to add to a salad is spinach. It doesn't have a strong taste, but provides so many nutrients and vitamins. I also really like shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, Italian dressing or ranch, croutons, hard boiled eggs and chicken. So essentially I like a chef's salad.

I like just about everyone's list of ingredients.  I don't think there is one I wouldn't eat.  I will say that once in a while I like to add either grilled chicken, a big scoop of chicken salad, or a scoop of tuna salad.  The other ingredient I like to use at times is avocado.  I am finding I like avocado a lot!

Cheese, apple, candied walnuts are very nice, sometimes if I have some leftover chicken or steak from another meal I will slice that up small and put it on top.

I love ranch or caesar dressing. Some cheese, croutons, carrots, egg. I'm pretty basic when it comes to salads. There aren't too many vegetables I enjoy so I keep things pretty simple.

I am not really a salad eater.  I will purchase the ingredients, then use them for something else or the lettuce will turn brown before I make a salad.

I make salad with items more than lettuce; yesterday's salad was stir fry with mushrooms and pickles.

I make my Salad with Lettuce and a little bit of Spinich Leaves, I add Onion. Bell Pepper. Ham. Cheese, Black Olives and Croutons. I top my Salad off with either the Red French Dressing or Thousand. I love both of these Dressings so I switch them around.

Not a big salad person. I am a very picky eater. I normally like lettuce, croutons, boiled eggs, bacon, ham and a dressing of some sort such as ranch.
