Congratulations, GA. This thread was started by you, and is your "baby." I noticed that the number of visitors is really "up there" on this thread.

Thanks Gtrs, but it was Paul who started this thread!

However, I will take credit for the self-published non-fiction, survivalist and Christmas threads!

Paul--I'm sorry about that! Thanks to _you_ for the thread!

Of all of the lame-brain things that I've done on this website, this is near the top of the list.

I thought that I was on the "Less than $3" thread. The complimentary things that I said about what I thought was that thread, apply to this one, too, however.

Cooked salad huh?

Well, around here it mainly would be collard greens. You've really got to know what you're doing to make them where they taste good.And you definitely don't want to eat them _without_ cooking them!

A ways further north, it might be mustard greens. I haven't had much experiece with them.

Somewhere even further north, say the whole of Tennessee, it's definitely turnip greens country. Have you ever eaten at a Cracker Barrel restaurant? Well, the only cooked salad that they serve, I think, is turnip greens. Why, you say? Probably because C.B. started in Tennessee. Their home office today is in a town called "Lebanon," which is just east of Nashville.

Sauteed spinach can be delicious. As far as I know, it's available here and there all over the country. I had some really, really good sauteed spinach at a nice restauranl a few miles away, a week ago last Friday

Now those are what cooked salads are. A salad _cook_book is almost always a misnomer. It doesn't give any recipes for _cooked_ salads--the salads are all _cold_. IMHO, the rest of them should be called "salad _recipebooks_," or "cold salad recipebooks," or something like that. I think that it would be great to have a true salad (i.e., greens) cookbook. Would one of you be up to writing it?

What about Potato Salad? It is cooked. Or a steak salad.

Sorry if too OT, but speaking of potato salad, I've been reading lately about "resistant starches" that don't absorb into the bloodstream but instead nourish beneficial gut bacteria. Green bananas, oats and lentils are good sources, but if potatoes or pasta are cooked and then cooled overnight before eating, some of the starch becomes resistant. So potato and pasta salad may not be as bad as we've previously thought.

On greens, mustard greens to me have a much better flavor than collard or turnip greens - I'd highly recommend trying them if you haven't before.

Would love to know the title and author of the book you are reading.
