There are so many types of salad, something for everybody. I love most of them.
When I was young in this country salad was lettuce leaves, tomato, beetroot, radish, spring onion and a hard boiled egg. I hated it! I think to many old people (like me) salad remains like this.
Experiment, put different things together, add nuts, fruit, olives, garlic, different dressings, pasta. The list is endless.
