WHAT DOES THE ULTIMATE SALAD LOOK LIKE?

Is iceberg lettuce set to dethrone kale in your next salad? A new survey suggests that may be the case.

A poll of 2,000 U.S. adults looked at the state of salad and revealed iceberg wins as the best salad base for 31% of Americans, while kale is the top choice for less than a quarter (23%).

The average American eats four salads every week, and 62% said the dish is part of their regular diet. While it’s a common meal, there are a lot of factors that go into creating the ideal salad. 

Commissioned by Fresh Express and conducted by OnePoll, the study discovered that 48% believe there’s such a thing as the “ultimate salad” and what it should include.
