Love these ideas that I came across when searching for some “lettuce-less salads.” But I also prefer the meatless sorts, too…especially when the salad is an accompaniment to another dish (with meat.) Would love to see more!

And here is a salad for you non-lettuce aficionados!

Bloody Mary Salad:

Mix halved cherry or grape tomatoes, thinly sliced celery pieces, sliced green olives, chopped green onions, cucumber chunks (optional), capers, and “mozzarella pearls” in with a vinaigrette made with vodka, spicy V-8, and an oil/vinegar base. YUM! It is a HUGE hit whenever I make it…and I always have to share the recipe!

I LOVED this post! Might finally convince my family to eat some salad. Totally agree on ‘dressing it up’ – we also eat with our eyes…

This salad looks absolutely delicious and it’ll make a great side dish or even a meal on it’s own.

@Foodieguy – Glad to hear it!
@Ju’eta – Yes, we love duck don’t we? I’ll make this for you when I get back home.
@Howard – Hehe, I never thought of a no-lettuce salad as a ‘man salad’. Nice one!
@Sophie – Yes, that was the point – very Autumnal. I love pumpkins in season, they’re so sweet.
@Syrie – Oops! I always read food blogs when I’m hungry, it’s punishment!
@Sweta – Me too, I really love salads :)

Fantastic Christie. Thanks for the much-needed inspiration. That chicken salad looks amazing. It’s dinner time now and I really shouldn’t be looking at this as I haven’t made anything and I’m famished.

O that looks delicious… I’ll definitely be making more salads in the future (and without lettuce). Can’t wait to try the recipe. And I guess while I’m here…
