Downtown salads

Rose over at the Sub Shop, inside US Bank in downtown Paducah, makes a darned good salad.

Sure, it's the same ingredients as a salad I could make at home and transport downtown to the Sun's refrigerator, but Rose has a certain touch. I've watched her make the salads that begin with a layer of simple iceberg lettuce. She then tops the lettuce with tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, black and green olives, banana peppers and jalapeno peppers, bacon bits, croûtons, etc. Picky salad eaters, like me, can request certain things be left off without affecting the taste.

It's nice to have a healthy option for a quick lunch downtown, and it's much better for me than a quick stop by the vending machine for a bag of chips and diet soda.
