Never mind, looks like La Scala’s salad.

I think this needs subcategories: salad as the main course or salad as a side

shredded carrot, arugula, radicchio, frisée and walnuts. Shave some Parmesan on top and dress with salt, pepper, oil and red wine vinegar

I've never seen a layered salad like this. It looks beautiful but I was just wondering how the heck can you scoop some of each layer out of there.

I miss the chopped salad from La Scala (LA)

Niçoise. Or anything with arugula. I also love a type of salad from back home. We call it rampon, doucette or mâche. Never seen it here though for some reason.

My first instinct was a spinach salad with roasted beets, orange wedges, and goat cheese.

But PPs got me thinking about Greek salad or Caprese with backyard tomatoes, and now I can't decide.

I also love a BLT salad with chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, homemade croutons, crumbled bacon, and a mayo based dressing.

Rich & Charlie's salad St. Louis

It’s more about the freshness of ingredients than ingredients themselves sometimes. Like a simple tomato salad made with fresh tomatoes from my MIL’s garden is so tasty compared to a lot of salads at restaurants.

Agree on homemade Greek salad. I also love any salad involving grilled romaine - we often grill romaine at home and just season with oil, lemon, salt, pepper and garlic and then top with a bit of parm cheese. So good.

The salad that I probably purchase most out (for lunch at work) is the Fattoush salad from Tatte. Absolutely love it.

That looks disgusting. I imagine the first few people are going to get a big blob of Mayo and bacon bits

An amazing bean salad (more than one type in there) from Lincoln restaurant in NYC and a delicious heirloom tomato salad with manchego from Perilla restaurant also in NYC.
