How do you make a good salad? I used to make really great salads, but I stopped making them as often and lost it. Now all the salads I make are shit.
What are good things to add to both the salad and the dressing?
Romaine and lettuce. Also italian dressing with some shredded chicken . Good shit when you are trying to lose wieght.

Mix arugula and whatever other green you want. Dressing is easy. Lemon juice + w/e other flavors you want (honey, miso, garlic, shallots, w/e) + salt / pepper and whisk in oil. Toss it more than you think you need to. Add tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced onions, or green onions. Cheese if you dont care about being healthy

You don't, salad fucking sucks. By the time it tastes good with vinagrette, you could've made it into a decent dish with meat and potatoes/noodles/whateverthefuck.

At lunch, I had a salad of mixed lettuces and large-leaf parsley with ribboned carrot and radish dressed in homemade garlic balsamic vinaigrette.
The lettuces were white chicory, red chicory and frisée with bibb being the most dominant.
The last one I had before that was typical southern Hungarian cucumber salad, less the sugar because fuck sugar (sliced cukes dressed in a mixture of lemon juice, oil, mustard and fresh-grated garlic then sprinkled with pepper and paprika). Northern one uses vinegar only (no mustard, oil etc) and sprinkles the paprika and pepper on separate halves of the salad, which I think is fucking stupid. It does sometimes add sliced garlic to it, too, but never grated.
As in most countries, the southern part has the better food.

I like to fold lettuce and tomato into a flatbread with about 5 ounces of lamb and a good dose of tzatziki.
Alternatively I put a layer of lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapenos, pickles, ketchup, mayo and mustard in a bun with a 1/4 pound patty of hot ground beef and a nice slice of muenster and/or swiss cheese.
I dont even really use lettuce anymore. Half a cucumber, one big tomato, cheese, chicken, sliced jalapeno.. dressing of choice.
warm roasted beets, baby spinach, pecans, goat cheese. Dressing oil/vinegar/mustard/honey.
Here's what I use:
Red leaf lettuce and spinach
Chopped tomatoes
Toasted almond slices
Dried cranberries
Balsamic vinaigrette
I get the balsamic vinaigrette from Trader Joes, haven't found anywhere else that has good dressing like that.
Parsley, coriander, mint, tomato, cucumber, olive oil and a dash of cumin.
Done.

Anything pickled. I chop up a bunch of pickled garden vegetables and a bit of the juice with my leafy greens and other stuff and everything tastes a lot better than just raw vegetables and dressing.

you need some acidity in that. put some lemon juice or vinegar my man
Grandmas recipe. It's fucking amazing. The slower you blend in the oil the thicker it gets. recommend a very slow inclusion. You may want a program to make it more clear - also you need to decipher the horrible cursive.

Great info, thanks! I'll be playing with this for a while.
You don't make friends with salad.
