The very best salad ingredients, be them veggies, cheese, meats or other items, are the essential components that when combined transform the individual items into a real salad. Alone, these items are all delicious, but when you add them together and toss them with a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-salad-dressings/chef-jen" target="_blank">delicious salad dressing</a>, a yummy salad is created.

In fact, it&#39;s the salad ingredients or toppings that distinguish one salad from another. Take the Caesar salad&nbsp;for instance and it&#39;s traditional toppings of Parmesan cheese, romaine lettuce, croutons and a garlicky dressing. Greek salads&nbsp;are the same with the likes of feta cheese, tomatoes, onions, pickled beets, peperoncini peppers, cucumbers and an olive oil-oregano dressing making these individual items combine to create something better than the sum of the original parts.

Whether you&#39;re a fan of traditional salads like the Waldorf&nbsp;or the classic cobb or just a simple garden salad with lettuce, tomato and dressing, it&#39;s safe to assume we can all agree that the ingredients make the salad. We&#39;ve all seen the salad bars stocked with a wide variety of vegetables, cheeses, meats, nuts and dressings, and just as there are endless options for salad toppings, there are endless combinations for which to create out own definition of a perfect salad.

Perhaps that flexibility and the fact that there is no wrong way to make a salad, is what makes salad a wonder food. As an added bonus, for the most part, unless you pick fatty dressings and high-calorie toppings, salads are also healthy (often rich in&nbsp;<a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/a866biroiq5A76687F576A97AAA" target="_blank">proteins and nutrients</a>). That&#39;s a double bonus if we ever saw one.

Cauliflower

Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts. The world’s plates are littered with the gross vegetables we refuse to eat. Everyone's got their own tastes, and for many of us, veggies are public enemy #1. Love carrots but hate green beans? This list of the worst vegetables is the place to make your voice heard! Vote a thumbs up for the veggies that you simply won't eat. And a thumbs down for the ones you love (asparagus, amirite?). It doesn't matter why you dislike any veggie - whether it’s because of its texture, taste or color - vote for it all the same. If you feel like ranking vegetables with your absolute most hated at the top, make your own version. That will let the world know which vegetables are most disliked, and which ones are actually pretty good. What are the worst vegetables to eat? What are the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-delicious-vegetables-v1?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best tasting vegetables</a>? Let us know!

Have you ever paused to think about the adventures of the average food before its arrival on the shelf at your grocery store? As it turns out, you might be surprised to learn how different many common foods you eat every day look before they are harvested. Though the photos below may appear to be of exotic and weird food plants, they're actually just a collection of what super common foods look like when they’re growing on farms or out in the wild. Here you’ll find pictures of weird food plants that actually produce everything from some of your favorite <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/vegetables-that-are-technically-fruits/diet-information-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">fruits and vegetables</a> to your morning cup of coffee. For instance, did you know that pineapples don’t actually grow on trees, but on fairly short plants that can only produce one fruit at a time? Ever wonder where common nuts like cashews actually come from or what other flowers the plants they grow on also produce? The answers may shock and surprise you!Check out these fun facts that’ll make you see the world of food in a whole new light, or at least give you some super random trivia to throw out next time you’re at the grocery store with a friend.

Rose Hip

If you're hungry for a healthy snack, there's nothing quite like a handful of fresh berries. There are many types of these delicious little fruits, ranging in flavor from juicy and sweet to crisp and tart. Popular berries are cultivated all over the world as a food source, whether they're eaten raw or cooked to make jellies, jams, and preserves. Other types of berries are found almost exclusively in the wild.Is your favorite berry featured on this list? Maybe you're a fan of the strawberry. Whether blended into ice cream, featured in a smoothie, or eaten on their own, these sweet red fruits are one of the most delicious berries found in nature. Their smaller relative, the raspberry, is a good&nbsp;option for people who prefer a bit of tartness in their berries. But those berries aren't as tart as the cranberry, which is usually served sweetened and stewed as a tangy counterpoint to savory dishes like turkey. Or perhaps you're a fan of the grape, a common berry with many tasty varieties.It's time to determine which berry is best. Make your voice heard by voting up your favorite fruits and adding any top berries that are missing.

Condiments

How do you like your salad? Just like we all have our own <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-salad-ingredients/chef-jen">favorite salad toppings and ingredients</a>, we each have that one favorite salad dressing, be it ranch, Italian, or even a sweet and tangy honey mustard. What do you reach for to pour over lettuce and other vegetables and things? This ranking of the very best salad dressings is based on personal preferences of voters, with some people preferring creamy dressings, like blue cheese and thousand island, and others opting for vinaigrettes. Whatever your favorite, we can all agree that the dressing makes the salad. Simply tossing vegetables, cheeses, meats, nuts, or fruits into a bowl starts to create a salad, but the dish is not complete&nbsp;until a favorite salad dressing is mixed in.

While many salads have specific dressings that complete the recipes, such as the garlicky Caesar or oil-based Greek dressing, once you go beyond these classic choices, the variations on the traditional salad dressing varieties are nearly endless. Ranch dressing lovers can choose from varieties with bacon, cheese and spice, among others, while Italian dressing can be creamy or oily and include secondary flavorings such as zesty seasonings and Mediterranean flavorings like feta cheese and lemon. Vinaigrettes are equally as versatile with choices like raspberry, balsamic and red wine among the most popular varieties.

What are the names of the best salad dressings? Categories are so broad, tasty, and versatile that they are not limited for use on salads. Ranch dressing and bleu cheese are especially popular as everyday condiments served alongside pizza, chicken wings, and even <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-french-fries?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">french fries</a>.&nbsp;

However you choose to enjoy your favorite salad dressings - be it as a condiment, on a sandwich, or on a simple salad - with so many choices and variations on the traditional types, it&#39;s easy to find a salad dressing to suit everyone&#39;s different tastes.

When you think of summer, what food comes to mind? If you said &quot;watermelon&quot;, you're not alone. Along with other types of melon, these juicy fruits are cultivated and enjoyed around the world. Some varieties of melon are eaten fresh and raw, while others lend a unique note to complex recipes. Many good melons don't even taste fruity at all.What fruit should top this list of the best melons to eat? Green on the outside and pink on the inside, watermelons are as beautiful as they are delicious. This tasty melon is often sliced and served as a simple snack, but it also makes a refreshing beverage when juiced. Cantaloupes are another one of the most popular melons in households all over the world. Besides their sweet flavor, honeydew melons also serve as a good source of vitamin C. The bitter melon sits on the other end of the flavor spectrum, and is usually served cooked to temper its taste. Other good melons featured on this top melons list include winter melons, muskmelons, and horned melons.Do you have a favorite type of melon? Give the top varieties a thumbs up and please add any great melons that are missing.

Some are sweet, some are sour, and some have a flavor that's wholly unique. The taste of citrus fruits has been a part of humans' diet since ancient times. Some of these delicious citrus fruits are eaten fresh&nbsp;while other popular citrus fruits taste best sprinkled with a healthy spoonful of sugar.

Lemons and limes are a bit too tart to enjoy on their own, but their&nbsp;acidic juice adds a delectable tang to desserts and refreshing drinks. But those are just your garden-variety citrus fruits.

It seems reasonable to assume that juice and a balanced&nbsp;diet combined with exercise is the best way to stay fit. However, there are quite a few reasons why&nbsp;it might be a good idea to take&nbsp;juice out of the equation. Even fresh-pressed juice, while better than store bought, has its&nbsp;downside. As it turns out, there are quite a few&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-juice-cleanses/casey-cavanagh" target="_blank">surprising&nbsp;facts about juice</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/crash-diet-horror-stories/jessica-lawshe" target="_blank">negative impacts</a>&nbsp;that&nbsp;it can have on your overall health.<a href="https://sma.org/southern-medical-journal/article/variation-in-fruit-juice-consumption-among-infants-and-toddlers-associations-with-wic-participation/" target="_blank">According to a survey</a>, one&nbsp;in three&nbsp;parents&nbsp;believe that&nbsp;juice is as healthy as actual fruit is, which is&nbsp;probably the most dangerous (or juicy) myth&nbsp;out there. People think the beverage is great for them, so they consume even more of it and serve it up in heaping glasses to their children. Like&nbsp;ice cream and cookies,&nbsp;it’s okay to indulge in&nbsp;on&nbsp;occasion,&nbsp;but it really shouldn't&nbsp;be a staple in your diet. When it comes to drinking juice (and pretty much everything else), remember to&nbsp;follow the golden rule: everything in moderation.

Fruits come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but even some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-delicious-fruits/analise.dubner">most delicious fruits</a> are just plain weird. While it may taste amazingly sweet,&nbsp;surprisingly savory, or an odd mix of both (looking at you, Durian), the appearance of a fruit may shock your senses so much that it will be hard to take that first bite.&nbsp;Here, you'll find a list of the strangest-looking fruits from different pockets of the world - from Hawaii's beloved hala tree fruit&nbsp;to Southeast Asia's <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-tropical-fruits/ranker-food">tropical</a>&nbsp;carambola (starfruit).&nbsp;Vote up&nbsp;the ones that you find the weirdest.&nbsp;

Almonds

There are dozens of delicious and nutritious ways to top your salad, from garnishing greens with fresh produce to sprinkling on crunchy dried nuts.

&quot;It started as a joke and got out of control.&quot; At least, that's how Paul Newman described creating the best Newman's Own <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-salad-dressings/chef-jen?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">salad dressing flavors</a>. In 1982, actor Paul Newman began giving out wine bottles wrapped in parchment paper full of his special recipe salad dressing.

Listen up, gang: It's time to get serious about the best kinds of lettuce. This is a list of several types of lettuces, ranked from the best to eat to the grossest and most useless. Are we talking about just for salads here? No bro! This lettuce is for any type of eating, like in a salad or a soup or even to wrap your protein-style cheeseburger at In-N-Out even though you also got fries and are, come on, eating a cheeseburger no matter how you dress it up. What even is lettuce? According to scientists, lettuce is an annual plant in the daisy family. Wow, so is kale even a lettuce? Not really! But it is on this list anyway. So are a bunch of other leafy <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/leafy-greens-and-salad-vegetables/diet-information-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">green vegetables</a> and also a few red / purple ones. To be honest, most of the things on this list probably aren't even actually lettuce.&nbsp;Anyway, what is the best kind of lettuce for you? Are some types of lettuces / leafy greens better for you than others? Well, the long and short answer is: no, they are pretty much all the same. Maybe kale has a little more vitamin A than iceberg lettuce, and maybe cabbage is a really good source of manganese, but unless you are an actual alpaca who only eats lettuce all day every day, those trace nutrients &amp; minerals don't really vary that much. Just be proud of yourself for choosing to eat any vegetable at all, even if it is just for one part of one meal. Now just try not to drown it in ranch dressing.Vote up your fave lettuces to eat raw or grilled, blend into juices and shakes, make your cellphone wallpaper, blog about, etc.

Lots of things in the natural world have crazy names.

Some of the apple names listed here are probably not what Johnny Appleseed had in mind.

Though apples are a delicious fruit, full of fiber and sure to help keep the doctor away, these apples aren&#39;t messing around.

You won&#39;t find the Golden Delicious apple on this list. These are the coolest apples in the fruit world, and they have the awesome names to prove it.
