This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Bucknell chapter.

Tired of eating the same salad every single day? Have you ever complained that you are putting the same things on your plate every day? Well now you can have a different salad for each day of the week!

Well now you don’t have to…

Here are ways to create your 5 classic salads in the Bucknell Dining Hall.

Chopped Salad

Take the tomatoes, cheddar cheese, bacon, hard boiled egg and place them on a bed of the lettuce from the salad bar.  Ask for grilled chicken from the grill (#Spoontip: say you have dietary restrictions) and mix it all together with the balsamic dressing from the salad bar.

Ceasar Salad

 Luckily you can get all of the necessary ingredients for the Caesar salad in the same spot: Near the pizza and pasta bar there is a small section for making caesar salads. They provide you with a big bowl for mixing, croutons, parmesan cheese, romaine lettuce, and caesar dressing. Take a handful of everything and dump it into the bowl to mix. Kuala.

Greek Salad

Take the cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, onions, (if they don’t have them that day, go to the stir fry station) and feta from the salad bar and mix them together with 3 spoonfuls of olive oil and 1 spoonful of vinegar (get it spoon..no pun intended).

Asian Salad
