A Hearty Salad Bar for Summer Dinners



  1. Salad bars are always so much fun in restaurants and salads are the perfect summer meal. We are in the warm part of the summer and all to soon we won't have the fresh produce available as readily.

    Why not plan a Salad Bar Supper one evening with all the different type of salads? It isn't as hard as it seems and everyone can pitch in with prep.

    First consider your family's likes and also see what they might be willing to try. There is life beyond iceberg lettuce and I bet they might just enjoy it.

    Our Salad Bar suppers usually included the following choices:

    Lettuce mix - romaine and spring leaf
    Fresh spinach
    Quartered Roma tomatoes or baby tomatoes (Grape or halved Cherry)
    Shredded carrots
    Sliced cucumbers
  2. Pizza Hut in China have banned the help yourself salad bar because people ate too much. Check out the tower!!! pic.twitter.com/bSadnJpegc
  3. Sliced radishes
    Pickled beets
    Cubed tofu
    Black and green olives
    Red, Green, Orange, and Yellow pepper strips
    Cubed turkey and Ham, maybe some salami
    Diced hard boiled egg
    Shredded cheeses - Cheddar and Mozzarella are usually the favorites
    Three Bean salad (purchased at the deli or from the can if you don't have time)
    Plain or marinated artichoke hearts
    Sliced red onion and diced green onions
    Assortment of favorite family dressings
    Cottage cheese
    Fresh fruit (or canned if that is what is available - drain well)
    Pasta salads (either leftover or from the deli)
    A selection of bread or rolls to accompany the salad.
    It might seem like a lot, but you don't need huge bowls of anything, except the lettuce. It doesn't require any more time than doing the prep for a dinner salad.

    Just like the restaurant salad bar, everyone serves themselves. Sit around the table, relax and enjoy. It is a nice change for a hot summer evening's dinner.

  2. Chinese cooking is beginning to gain popularity in other countries primarily because the traditional Chinese cooking is healthier, especially that it is centered more on vegetables and less meat. Aside from the appeal of healthy Chinese cooking, its popularity has also grown because Chinese foods are easy to cook and may require less time cooking which preserves the nutrients of the foods along with the texture and the colors of the vegetables and the traditional Chinese cooking is much focused on a vegetarian diet. masterchef 2021
