So, I have never really been able to get behind salads. To much ruffage I always say. I'm not a rabbit. So I stay away from them. I don't think I have ever tasted Thousand Island Dressing and I don't like Ranch. French? If it is followed by fries or toast, OK. Otherwise I think I will pass.
I can do a fruit salad. The problem with fruit salad is the time it takes to make it. With your standard lettuce or spinach based salad, you have a fairly easy to prepare base. A fruit based salad does not. Unless you use grapes, but grapes does not a good fruit salad make.
If you have talked to me about salads, you have most likely heard me mention meat salad. I don't think such a thing exists, but if it did, I would be all about it. Maybe with a nice BBQ dressing.
That being said, I am doing the unthinkable, and adopting a diet in which salads will play a role.
Breakfasts, I have been going with Smoothies (Low Fat Yogurt, Two Oranges, Handful of Strawberries, and a Banana) or an English Muffin. For lunch, most days I have gone with a Spinach Salad with strawberries and Banana slices. Then whatever I want for dinner.
I eventually plan on venturing our to different salads, but am happy for now. If nothing else, I don't need to worry about coming down with scurvy anymore.

It's because salad is kinda yucky.
I too hate salads, but am trying to lose weight. Instead of the damn salads, I eat raw tomatoes, cukes, or carrots.... and a small (teeny tiny) soup for lunch.
Fruit salad is good - and I make it once a week as soon as I get home from the grocery store. Otherwise, the fruit rots in my house.
As for MEAT salad... I'd love to try it!
