What are your favorite items on the salad bar? I love chick peas, onions, cheese, pasta salad. I just ate at a salad bar yesterday in the restaurant called "Ruby Tuesday." It was very clean and delicious. They have the best homemade croutons. They are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I have a mini salad bar at home that I use just for my husband.

I haven't been to a salad bar in a long time, but we do have a Ruby Tuesday's near here, so maybe I'll try it. Chick peas and cheese are my favorites on a salad, topped off with thousand island dressing. I like cottage cheese and bean salad on the side.

I always get chick peas. My dressing of choice is Thousand Island. I was raised on it.

I love Ruby Tuesdays. We don't have those in my immediate area though. On the salad bar my favorite item is the pasta salad. Souper Salad is a place near near here that always has yummy pasta. I also like the pepperoni, but I tend to just focus on the pasta.

Pasta is my weakness. I could give up anything sweet, but when it comes to pasta, I gotta have it.

I love that pasta salad. I could skip everything and go for the pasta salad, the croutons, cheese and macaroni salad....I just had pasta for dinner....

I just got the salad bar at the grocery store today. I love getting to add everything you want. Ruby Tuesday's has a good salad bar too. I get cheese, onions, olives, cottage cheese if they have it, bacon bits, carrots, chicken or ham chunks, sometimes the pasta salad. YUM!

Ruby Tuesday has a good salad bar. However, I prefer the one at Golden Corral better. I like the green peppers and onion and olives and stuff like that the best. Usually when I make a salad, it has very little lettuce on it.

LOL...I can relate to that....a salad with no lettuce. They used to have a Golden Corral here but I never went to it and now it is no longer here.

Golden Corral is a pretty good place to eat. We have one here, but I haven't been to it in a while. I want to go again soon though. They have some really good food and their salad bar is usually really fresh...

I love fresh baked bread and real butter with a salad. Cheese is a must for me when it comes to a salad.

I used to go to Wendys for their Salad. And what i like most in their salad bar was pineapple, cheese, gelatins, cucumber, lettuce, sweet corn, macaroni and apples. At home i usually prepare fruit salad with all purpose cream, condensed milk and mayonnaise for the dressing. My husband likes the salad i prepare for him. Although i make it once a month, i see to it that he eats fresh vegetable fruit salad i also prepare for dinner which is cucumber,cabbage,onion, freshly squeezed lemon with salt to flavor.

I have not been to Wendy's in such a long time that I didn not know that they have all those items in their salad bar. It sounds like you take good care of your husband. He is a very fortunate man. I try to take care of mine, but he is picky.
