Hello everyone, I have heard eating raw vegetables is very good for health. Hence doctors advice taking salds made of fresh green vegetables daily with food. What are the vegetables you use for salads. I prefer tomotos, carrots, onions What about you?

i enjoy a nice caesar, minus the egg. other wise it's i'll eat a normal salad, and then it depends on the mood on what i add in. usually cucumber, alf alfa, pineapple, may be even peas and corn or what ever i want out the fridge. can't forget my dressing, i normally have italian, or just put caesar on it.

A good answer and mouth watering. In india we do not get the vegetables available elsewhere. Hence during summer cucumber is a must and seasonal green vegetables make the salad. Have a nice day

I dont like tomatos ( they are fruit to tell you the truth but I get your point) but I do like fine chops of onions and carrots. radish and cheese on my salads with a ranch dressing. And yes I eat salad almost every day, keeps me awake, healthy, and pumped for soccer or any other activity.

Yes you are correct. Eating salad either with food.or seperately gives energy instantly. In our place during meals either it is a party or daily meal it has become customary to serve salad. I like to eat tomato raw. Happy mylotting

I do not eat salad daily. I know I should but I do eat it at least a few times a week. I like grilled chicken salad with all the vegetables it comes with and I also love a good ceaser salad with bread crumbs. A good tossed salad from time to time also with lettuce, cheese, tomato, onion, cucumber and carrot.

Hello, myself being a pure vegetarian I cannot decide about the salad with non veg. I think non veg food gives the required nutrients and you do not feel the necessity of green vegetables. But we veggies have to depend only on vegetables. Have a nice day

I love salads. I used to eat a lot of them when I used to stay with my mother. She is a great cook and would make lovely salads and food for me. But now I am not with her so I have to fend for myself. I do not have the commitment to get the veggies to make salad and eat. Also, my family people are not very open to eating such stuff. They love all deep fried and unhealthy food. Hence, I have to go along with whatever is cooked for the day. :)

Hello Tutor, I think the time you stayed with your mother was great.If you like to have salads then you should have it.If your family people dont like them let them not have it.Salads are very good for health.

I don't but my mom does every day. She craves salads every day for some reason. I would like to try to eat a salad every day but I don't always have the stuff for it. She uses lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, onions, and sometimes puts chicken in it too. I think I will buy the stuff next time we go grocery shopping and try to eat a salad every day. :)

Hello, NIce to hear your view. Yes your mom is correct. If you dont like the salad prepared by her youcan get vegetables or anyother things of your choice and prepare your own salad. Have a nice day

Hi shantha, I've been having salads almost every night for the last few months as it is too hot to cook anything and they taste so good at this time of the year. I make salads out of the following; assorted lettuce leaves mixed with fresh basll leaves, cucumber, spring onions, tomatoes, radishs, sliced mushrooms. I make a variety of dressings which always include olive oil. I can eat them with the addition of prawns most often, or a hard boiled egg, or new potatoes. Tonight I just had a small salad of sliced cherry tomatoes with basil leaves, with lots of oil on top, the taste was lovely.

Hi shantha, I put extra virgin olive oil in everything practically, it is very healthy and tastes wonderful. For salads mix it with balsamic vinegar, or lemon, or just as it is but with some kind of herb. Luckily I don't have to save it for special occassions as I have my own olive trees but appreciate that it is considered a bit of a luxury elsewhere. Enjoy your salads.
