Typically when I think of salad I think of a GREEN salad, a salad with lettuce. Salad, however can be made up of a variety of things. I am in the habit of saying “salad” for green salad and vegetables then saying “pasta salad”, “fruit salad”, “potato salad”, etc. for other salads. We have a salad every night when we eat at home. If we dinner at home 25 nights out of the month 20 of them will be with salad.
But sometimes I don’t have lettuce. So I do on occasion just make a veggie salad. Basically the same things I would put in a green salad but without the green of the lettuce. Here in this picture, there are cucumbers, red and green bell peppers, onions, and it looks like a little feta cheese. Maybe it could be considered a Greek Salad. I didn’t think to put olives in it. But it was good anyway.
Do you eat salad? What kind? What is your favorite? What do you like to put in your Green Salad?
