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.


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


That would obviously be the best first serving but typically most people dig down deep and get a bunch of everything.


You’re supposed to toss the salad prior to serving - at least that’s how my in laws in TX do it.


NP
Do they put it in a separate bowl to toss or do they not fill up the display bowl as much as PP's picture?

I love roasted beets, orange segments, dried cranberries, and goat cheese on a small bed of baby spinach. Drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of orange. Salt and pepper.

My favorite of all time is Ottolenghi’s spinach, date and almond salad. Red onions are pickled and added to spinach with sweet dates. Croutons are ripped pita pieces and almonds sautéed in butter and olive oil, sprinkled with sumac and lots of salt. Simply dressed with lemon and olive oil. SO GOOD.

All these salads sound delicious, but this is the right answer.

Wedge never lives up to its promise. The only way to make it taste good is to cut it up into small pieces and mix it together, which defeats the purpose.

My current fave at home is iceberg, red onions, cukes, sprinkled with za’atar, olive oil & vinegar.


Have you had the Caesar at Emmy Squared? It is divine.

I love salads and eat them almost daily. For a meal in a restaurant, nothing beats a Cobb salad. At home my favorite is arugula, toasted pine nuts, parmesan and a lemon and olive oil dressing.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here is that when we make salads at home with more standard ingredients, we always include diced green onion. The milder onion taste is delicious.

Cosi's signature salad is an oldie but goodie for me!

I’ve always loved the Thai Crunch salad at California Pizza Kitchen, and also the BBQ Chicken Chopped salad there. The Cobb salad at the Daily Grill never ceases to please. I also love the Thirty Acres salad at Jetties - romaine, arugula, fried chicken, couscous, shredded carrots, medjool dates, cashews, and honey spiced yogurt dressing.
