That actually stands to reason. There was a mad push to get people to eat more lettuce but bananas were also becoming more widely distributed and touted for health benefits.

Ok so I had a 70s mom...in the Midwest. I fully admit I actually liked these salads....what "salads" do you remember liking that you wouldn't put on the table now?

Sunshine salad (shredded carrots, pineapple in orange gelatin)



Carrot raisin salad


Waldorf salad

 

[ScarletDaisy]

There's always Watergate salad at pot lucks at my office. That stuff looks so nasty.

The only one I can think of is the iceberg lettuce, cucumber, & tomato with mayonnaise that we’d sometimes have. And I didn’t eat tomato at the time

And this!

I feel like I either dodged a bullet or missed out on something amazing.

I like a grilled chicken Caesar or a garden salad with a little ranch.
