Most of those, also Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Nuts, Seeds, Gherkins, Broccoli and I prefer making salads with Spinach leaves rather than Lettuce

I'm all about the dressing. You need a delicious olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard and runny honey mix.
Chop your salad up small, so even cherry toms are in qtrs, then peppers, red onion, sweetcorn, toms, lettuce, and cucumber.

Poor little cress never did anyone any harm to deserve that kind of treatment.

Is there a minimum number we have to use, because Niamh won't think it's a valid salid otherwise :laugh:
I hate Salad cream and it should be banned. Disgusting stuff.

The options I went for (with the ‘other’ part signifying in my case Greek yoghurt or any other possible dressings I actually like, none of which were listed in the poll) are the ones I like from that list. I’d rather just have plain-ish coleslaw most of the time.

It’s a mistake to see salad as rabbit/goat’s food (in my opinion) but if you’re like me and fussy when it comes to things like that you’re not even going to like the fillings in most sandwiches, let alone a full plate of lettuce (cabbage is so much more agreeable) and salad cream.

The only type of cheese I like is either melted (whether on a burger or toastie) or grated atop pasta. Doesn’t really matter the type so long as I’m not expected to eat a cheese-ham-pickle buttie (God forbid).

I’d include crispy onions and croutons with my options I voted for in the poll.
Harvester has a salad cart which is free and I normally have the tomato pasta with my salad as well. I normally have their salad instead of a starter of the menu.
