Nothing complements a good meal more than a good salad. Big pile of lettuce, maybe some greens or some spinach. Tomatoes, croutons, a nice dressing, maybe even some peppers and shredded radish. Phenomenal, and usually healthy too. And don't even get me started on Chicken Caesar salad, it's a meal in itself.
Allow me to make one thing absolutely clear, however:
If your food has salad as its suffix, it sucks.
Chicken Salad, Tuna Salad, Macaroni Salad, Potato Salad, Ham Salad, etc., etc., and COLE SLAW! Who eats this crap? It's at every picnic. Giant tubs of ambiguous, gelatinous, mayonnaises or mustard based paste. It all tastes awful, and it's unnecessary.
I understand the desire to put something out on the table that isn't an entree or real salad or starch, but you can grill vegetables! You can make real pasta! Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts! Bacon-wrapped bacon! God forbid you can even serve fruit.
Please, please, help end the -salad epidemic.
Bellwether Meltdown fancies himself a writer. He is a 1st generation Hungarian immigrant and descendant of Peter the Great. He is a doting pseudo-intellect
The Awesome Sauce is the unloved bastard child of Chicago and Northwest Indiana. He became a circus juggler at the age of 6 and traveled the country performing his dangerous acts for 8 years. When he was kicked out of the circus he had to kill and steal to stay afloat. After spending 6 years in county for stealing and killing he then decided to dedicate his life to sarcasm, mockery, satire and lampoonery. He's given up stealing and killing for the most part, unless it has to do with stupid people or overrated arts schools.
