Favorite Restaurant Recipes for Salads

How long has it been since you've had a delicious salad?

The kinds of salad recipes we have today and what we think about
salads in general has changed a great deal in the last 40-50 years.

Pasta salads, potato salads, salads with vegetables and fruits,
salads with sprouts, seafood salads, meat salads, Caesars, mixed
wild green salads, dessert salads, gelatin salads ...the choices go
on and on.

It used to be a salad was something served just before an entree or sometimes with the entree.

That salad was usually iceberg lettuce with French or Thousand Island dressing or oil and
vinegar served in cruets. WOW! THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

Salads are now a mainstay for my restaurant. Salads have become a nation-wide obsession,
including in the small “meat and potato” town in which I do business. Enjoy!
