Friday Food 05-31-24

 Somehow spring time is always salad time for me.  Although I do eat salads all year, they seem more appealing as the weather warms up and the landscape is green and also colorful with flowers.  Here are some memorable lunch salads.

Although Fitness Grill has changed to Versie, the menu is basically the same. I frequently order the salmon salad which is always simply delicious.  Other than scallops I rarely cook seafood at home, so often order it at restaurants. 


Several years ago there was a fad of stuffing the salad in a tall glass and then  upending it  on t he plate; a sort  of  salad tower; this one was at Bowers Museum restaurant.   Very tasty, but one had to flatten it out to eat it. 


Here is a crab salad in an interesting combination.  Don't recall the restaurant. 


Here is a made-at-home salad.  Celery, avocado, oranges,  banana,  dried cranberries, chopped toasted pecans, lactose free cottage cheese.   Not yet added, a drizzle of Brianna's Poppy seed dressing.

Those are so appetizing! It's making me want a salad, even though it's nearly bedtime.

The salmon salad is reminding me of a wonderful one I had at Swami's Escondido. Not only did it have a large filet, it included many kinds of berries, and colorful vegetables. A delight for the eye AND stomach. Then there's a lobster salad with avocado and a couple poached eggs that some friends get at a regular lunch. Really nice.
