[...] Mâche greens are pretty impressive. For one thing, they contain Omega 3s. Wha??? Omega 3s in lettuce??? Yup, one three-ounce serving of mâche greens contains 12% of the RDA for Omega 3 fatty acids. These greens are also high in Vitamins A and C, Folic Acid, Iron, Potassium, and Zinc. Taste-wise, mâche greens have a sweet, almost-nutty flavor, and they are much less bitter than, say, kale. The leaves are so soft and fluffy that one can easily see how they got the nickname “lamb’s lettuce.” Spinach had better watch its back! (Below, mâche + mixed greens in a Big Kahuna salad) [...]

Giant salads! I’m thinking I might go on a plan in August where I eat a giant salad for lunch every day, so I’ve been kicking around ideas. I’m totally down with your cooked-veggies-in-salads idea too, I made my own version of a Stir Fry Salad, and just last night I had a roasted potato and fava bean salad for dinner.

I really like any kind of greens, although I probably use baby romaine and spinach most often. For toppings, it’s really anything – from whatever raw salad worthy veggies I can find in the fridge, to something more composed like a fajita salad. And dressings…so many choices! I like a good old homemade balsamic vinaigrette, or an agave mustard, or tofu-based ranch, or just extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Dang, now I want a big salad.

We had Video Clue that me and my sister would play waaaay too often! It was hilarious. Actually, just watching the video was funny, you didn’t even need to play the game.

My fave salad greens are red leaf lettuce, romaine, and baby spinach. Although it would be fun to add more exciting greens, I have serious issues with the bitterness of them raw.

Hey! I got the eggplant burgers you posted about and found they are wayyy too salty for me! But I barely add salt to anything so maybe that’s why. Too bad, bc the nutritional info looked great…

It sounds weird but I love putting halved red grapes on my salad. I usually use a mix of salsa, balsamic vinegar, a tiny bit of amys gingerly vinaigrette and TONS of dijon mustard. It tastes awesome with the grapes. I also use the typical stuff people already listed like steamed veggies,avocado, etc.

Oh, and sometimes I put frozen peas on my salad and by the time i eat it they’re mostly defrosted…delicious
