Salads in our city, then and now.

Salads have become very popular at most restaurants in twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Buffet spreads for breakfast, lunch and dinner have become very common at most restaurants. And these buffets have medium to very large spread of items for salad. With some restaurants having Live Action Salad Stations, the spread is much larger with a variety of salad dressings as you can see in the above pictures. If you like such a restaurant and spread, the salad may no longer be an appetizer salad or an accompaniment to the main course, it would become a full-meal!
Earlier in our city, most restaurants served a complimentary small plate of sliced onion with a wedge of lemon, before or along with the food ordered by you. If you wished for a larger quantity and variety, you would have to choose from the À la carte menu - onion salad, onion tomato salad or the green salad with a variety of vegetables that is carrot, cucumber, radish, tomato and onion with wedges of lemon or any exotic salad with a fancy name!
Present day spreads are elaborate with a wide variety of vegetables, sprouted grains, cheeses, meats, nuts and dressings…there are endless combinations and salad toppings! At countless restaurants! A feast to the eyes and taste buds! Very nutritious and healthy for the young and elderly!
Most importantly people here are loving salads and the restaurants are fondly catering to them.
