It's the weekend! Let's kick off the fun by talking about salad!? Yeah, it might not be your go-to food for the next couple days but maybe you can use this info for next week's meals??
According to a recent poll, the average American eats four salads a week.
Someone put out a comprehensive ranking of 14 salad varieties, and here it is:
1. Caesar salad.
2. Taco salad.
3. Nicoise salad, which usually has tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, green beans, olives, and anchovies or tuna, dressed with olive oil or a vinaigrette.
4. Cobb salad, with eggs and bacon.
5. Spinach salad.
6. Caprese, which usually includes mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and olive oil.

10. "Bound" salads, with chicken, tuna, egg, potato.
