When you order a hero sandwich or delicious pasta dish from your local deli, you can enhance your meal even further by complementing it with a salad. Since certain flavors pair better than others, it’s helpful to know which salads go best with certain dishes. Here’s a rundown of some of the most popular salads and the flavors you can combine them with. 

Salad & Meal Pairings

1. Caesar Salad

When you order a Caesar salad, expect generous portions of Romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, croutons, and a creamy Caesar dressing. This tangy delight goes well with meatier dishes such as steak, heroes, or hamburgers. The garlicky notes of the dressing complement beef particularly well. 

2. Greek Salad

Greek salads typically contain Kalamata olives, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, feta cheese, bell peppers, and a vinaigrette. This refreshing and light salad pairs well with grilled chicken, providing you with a filling meal with plenty of lean protein

3. Cobb Salad

The classic Cobb salad can be enjoyed on its own as a main dish, but it also pairs well with lighter fare, especially soups. The salad can contain mixed greens, bacon, avocado, egg, tomato, gorgonzola, balsamic vinaigrette, and cucumber. Pair this salad with chili for extra protein, or consider a classic soup like chicken noodle.
