Making a meal for someone - salad or no?

The bagged chopped salads are really good and they don't get overly soggy or gross when prepared a short time in advance.

Maybe its a regional thing, but here in upstate NY, people have been avoiding traditional salads due to the E. Coli situation. They are opting for a spinch/spring mix instead.

What do you consider a "traditional salad?" I'd definitely put spring mix in that category, and around here, spinach salad is pretty basic, too.

Romaine/iceberg lettuce comprises a traditional salad to me. Never said spring mix or spinach weren't common, but if I order a garden salad or grilled chicken salad somewhere, its generally a romaine lettuce in my own experience.

I agree with nkereina, I consider Romaine/iceberg a traditional salad. Yes, spinach and spring mix are pretty basic, but Romaine/iceberg are more "traditional" salads.

BTW, I hate that a lot of restaurants I frequent are moving to spring mix. I'm not a fan! I usually end up ordering Caesar so I can get Romaine lettuce instead of that other stuff.

I'm not a huge fan of spring mix either. I like my lettuce to be crisp! Eating spring mix is kind of like eating weeds from the backyard, LOL.

If Spring mix saves 1 person from Kale, it's still a good thing though.
