I grew up eating lettuce, tomato and onion salads with cucumber sometimes. and cole slaw. That's about all the types of salads Mom ever made, Well, she made an awesome mashed potato salad, too.
It took a long while for me to break out of that and begin to expeiment with other salads. Chef salad was a favorite for a long time and I still love it. Then I discovered you could put a lot of different vegetables together.
I have lately been into vegetable salads with fruit in them. Chick-fil-A got me started with their "Market Salad," which I tried to duplicate at home. It didn't turn out exactly like theirs because I didn't have all the ingredients, but it was good!
Besides things like tuna salad and egg salad, what other kinds of salads can i experiment with?

I love to eat a vegan salad as part of my dinner. I am keen on cucumber, lettuce, carrot, red cabbage and beetroot. Sometimes I add nuts to my salads. I like to add on a salad dressing that is vegan friendly to my salad. Often I like to eat a salad roll or sandwich.

@peavey I like basic salads. Although I love making myself a good tuna salad and chicken salad. I don't use fruit in my salads because of the sugar. But I use Kirby's and tomatoes and lettuce and even peppers. Oh and lets not forget onions.

Caesar Salad is my favorite. Romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan cheese, diced, breaded chicken, Caesar dressing.

@peavey Try looking at the mason jar salad pins on Pinterest, Pat. They are amazing! I like to put a lot of fruit, cheese, and protein in my salads and very little lettuce. Yes on celery, cucumbers, and tomatoes, though. PS: Saw your blog and love it.

If you like to toot your horn, you can try different bean salads with different vegetables.
Example: Garbanzo beans (chickpeas); tomatoes; zucchinis, red peppers, mushrooms, and hot pepper if you want to spice it up.
