I make a good Dijon Vinaigrette. But it's the dressing that makes me buy it. It's really good.

That's a good way to stretch that salad. I'm sure I've stretched salads with stuff like chicken, pasta, or whatever vegetables needed to be used up.

I never get to make salads. Julienne Macédoine, my Upstairs Salad Chef and Noisette Croûte, my Downstairs Salad Chef, do all the salad making. I'll ask them if they do that sort of thing.

I love trying to mix up different fruits and veggies to make a salad. If I can make a salad last longer I'm all for it.

I do not add ingredients to ready made salads, because I always make my salads from scratch. I like tomatoes and mozzarella with fresh basil and I like avocado and shrimps, blue cheese with white endives and walnuts... there are many combinations I like.

@TheHorse I put vegetables in a container. I make a Russian dressing and make tuna. I put the salad in a bowl and put salt on it and pour the dressing and then tuna on and eat it. it is really very tasty.

I usually don't have any "fixin's" in the house; so when I eat a salad it's gone.

A friend gave the roommates and me a gigantic bag of shredded lettuce a week or two ago. I have been having salads with dinner. Totally delicious. We use the cheap route... dollar store shredded cheese, dollar store dressing and Sam's Club croutons.
