It was a light meal tonight. We had butternut squash soup with a dollop
of yogurt followed by Thai style beef and vegetable rolls.

Sounds good to me.

It's going to be a "campfire" packet here. A large hamburger patty, potatoes,
onion, and seasoned salt, and a dab of butter.

Here it was a salad dressed with creamy garlic (mayo, yogurt, garlic powder,
onion powder, salt, pepper), and a sandwich of leftover grilled pork tenderloin
with barbecue sauce.

Tonight it's going to giant salads for my brother and I. Cubed grilled chicken
breasts, chopped boiled eggs, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, cheese, and
the dressings of our choice on top mixed salad greens.

Yes, that's not the kind of stuff children like.

I am indifferent to beets. I will eat them if they served to me, and I
will probably enjoy them. My wife despises them. Broccoli is one of my
favourite vegetables. If I have not had cauliflower for a while I love
it. Once I have had some it takes a couple weeks before I am ready to
eat it again.

I love pickled beets but not on my salad, I'd like those on a separate plate, please.
But I do love broccoli and cauliflower in the salad and it's all good with your favorite
dressing plus the grape tomatoes I originally forgot to mention.

I like the occasional big salad (with the works) for dinner sometimes.
Never added meat to one though.

If meat isn't "the works", I don't know what is.

So, what's "the works"?

A dead animal, probably.

Think vegetarian deluxe salad. More than usual vegetables plus cheese,
hard boiled egg and even croutons. The cheese is always torn small
pieces of mild cheddar but some feta on top is also a bonus.

A "salad bar" gives you many more options than you might have at home
(as an example)

I've never added meat before (not saying it's a bad thing).
But then...I realized that many years ago I would sometimes add crumbled
bacon. I liked that meat in a salad.
Even kept a jar of Bac-Os around if I didn't have any real bacon to cook.

Anyway, imo all salads are good. I'm not about to argue about any
variations.

My good friend has told me several times that his wife is making a salad
for supper, and I always ask what she is served it with.

Salad never used to me my idea of a meal. However, there is one salad we
have been making frequently as a supper. It is a Thai mango and chicken
salad. It has just enough hot pepper in it to give it a kick and it is
served on a bed of lettuce.

Then there is Salad Nicoise. I tried it in a nice restaurant once and it
was fantastic. It is the only time I have ever seen it on a menu. It was
not even on the menu in Nice. It is a meal in a salad.

I like a meal saladsl. I always look for Salad Nicoise. I
sometimes make it at home. A Chef's Salad is one with hard boiled
egg, meat, cheese, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and the Chef's whimsy. I
love a Cobb Salad. I don't make that often because my husband
dislikes avocado. But I do make a Taco Salad frequently during the
summer. (refried beans, chopped lettuce, chopped onion, black olives,
chopped tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa, surrounded with
corn chips.)
Various dressings.

Try it will grilled cubed chicken or ham sometime. It's quite good and rather
filling. You've got three proteins if you count the cheese and chopped boiled
eggs. You're free to add croutons or some sort of crackers on the side, but
we didn't have either as the salads were huge and we didn't need the added
carbs.
