My spouse and I went to dinner last night and both got salads. We got into a discussion about whether the protein that comes on the salad should be warm or cold. We can't seem to agree on this. Thoughts from OT?

Could be liquid. Check that dressing before eating.

Do you mean meat? Say meat you weirdo. Protein could be lots of things.

Except for bacon bits I like my protein on the side.

Depends on the dressing for me. Vinaigrettes are better with cold, but the best combo is always warm protein + ranch

I ask my wife all the time if she'd like me to add some protein to her salad.

Chicken is great cold shaved style, but it is also great when its nice freshly sliced marinated chicken coming hot from a grill.

Shrimp is good cold if boiled and done like a remoulade style. Also good blackened and warm, though.

Fried seafood needs to be warm so it's still crispy and freshly fried.

Tuna, I can go warm (just seared) or totally raw/sashimi style.

I don't really do steak on salad much, but I would want it warm if I did.

Crab, cold obviously. I like a marinated seafood salad with lots of lump crab.

Salmon I can go either way, I guess. I don't order salmon on salad much.
