Americans' Salad Preferences
May is National Salad Month, and BrightFarms conducted a survey on Americans' favorite salads. Dressing and lettuce quality are key factors. Romaine lettuce and ranch dressing are top choices. People prefer fresh salads with cheese, tomatoes, and bacon toppings. Odd toppings include bananas, peanut butter, and popcorn. Most respondents eat salads at least twice a week, with many preferring salads prepared by someone else. Adding avocado, nuts, seeds, and homemade dressings can enhance the salad experience. Protein and themed salads are also recommended for flavor and fullness.
