ISO: Columbia Steakhouse San Diego Salad - Ingredients

Salads - Assorted
There is not a complete recipe anywhere but I did manage to find a partial list of ingredients on another recipe board.

COLUMBIA STEAKHOUSE SAN DIEGO SALAD
Source: Roadfood, From: JimmyInKy

"I stopped at one of the Columbia Steakhouse stores tonight (there are three) and talked with a manager about the Diego Salad. She didn't mind sharing what she knew with me."

Here's the recipe she recited:
chopped lettuce
chopped tomatoes
celery
onions
radishes
"special seasoning salt"

The takeout menu lists the same ingredients.

The lettuce is chopped iceberg and the manager says there's not much onion in the salad (On the way over I was wondering if the Diego contained any onion). When I think of the Diego - which I've enjoyed many times - I think of all that chopped celery. The fresh celery flavor always seems to dominate. The manager says the "special seasoning salt" is not a commercial blend, but something they make up themselves.

Customers order their choice of dressings. I've nearly always ordered the house dressing, which is just oil and vinegar. It seems perfect for the ingredients and I associate it with the Diego.

Since I'm acquainted with one of the company's managers, I'll see if they can share the recipe or its ingredients and let you know what I learn. If you want to take a shot yourself, the number for the Limestone location is 859-253-3135. The main office/commisary number is 859-231-0008.

When I next visit Columbia's, I'll order the Diego with dressing on the side. That might allow me to identify some of the ingredients in the seasoning salt. We'll do our best to eventually answer your query.

Other messages from that board:

I always thought the "special seasoning" was a combo of celery salt and ground black pepper.

I worked there a LONG time ago but if I recall correctly the 'special seasoning salt' was celery salt.
