Waldorf

Dan Eaton is calling a grilled portobello, a few stalks of grilled
asparagus and a slice of grilled onion- drizzled with a soy/ginger
dressing a 'salad'. The title bothered me-- but I don't know
why. He didn't mix it up before plating and I think that is
something *my* mind needs to call something a salad.

I would say that it is cold but then there is the warm German potato salad.
And some steak salads are prepared warm. So I really don't know.

Salad is a mixture of fruits and vegetables. I love salad specially in dinner. I would like to thank you all for sharing wonderful ideas about salad. I like this thread. I like green vegetables in salad because green vegetables are healthy and have many benefits.

I think Dan Eton is being overly pompous. The presence of dressing
does not automatically make it a salad. Does it mean we're eating
salad when we have turkey with "dressing"? They are grilled mixed
vegetables that are "dressed" with a sauce. A stretch would be to
call it a "deconstructed" salad, but no salad (in my mind's eye) would
put hot asparagus and mushrooms together.

Bean salad. Fruit salad. It's anything someone wants to call "salad".

A blend of foods which can be eaten by themselves, is my way of looking at em. I guess if I mixed up chopped hotdogs, bologna, Spam, etc. it wudn't really seem to be a salad, tho.

salad.

You'd call it a mélange, because you know better,

I've never tried it! The recipe is in one of my old Calling All Cooks
cookbooks. I can't get my hands on it right now, but this looks very
similar:

CRISCO SALAD

1 Cup Crisco
2 eggs
1 cup pecans
1 cup sugar
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 package graham crackers
1 box strawberry jello

Cream Crisco and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and beat well after each
one. Add pineapple and nuts. Line bottom of long pyrex dish with crackers.
Add half of mixture, spreading over crackers. Add another layer of
crackers and rest of mixture. Mix jello according to directions on
package and let stand in refrigerator until almost congealed; spread on
top of mixture. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

I could see it maybe without the Crisco, eggs and sugar.

Great rhetorical question. Hard to imagine what comes under the salad umbrella huh? The Best and healthiest salad is young mustard greens..vine ripened home growed tomaters..fresh garlic and raw onyawans..dressed with XXX Greek first cold pressing Olive Oyl and Braggs Raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar. Now that will blow Aunt Myrtle's dress way up over her head. Forget about all that other stuff..lol. Young spinach can sub in a pinch. Or a handful of Johnson Grass prob taste purty good down in there too. lol. Cucumbers can work their way into that magic easily too come to thunk on it. lol

In a grocery store in Vienna I was trying to put together a lunch for
the train. All the prepackaged salads had meat in them. So your cured
meat mixture would have been a fine salad.

Why do gays make the best travel companions?
