Garden salads are my favorite with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and Thousand Island dressing.

Some people think I'm weird, but usually, my favorite salad is lettuce, cheese, and celery, and usually, that's with Thousand Island dressing. I know I love Ranch but on salads, I'll take Thousand Island every time.

So, with all this talk about crisp lettuce. What do you like on your salad? Do you like a chef's salad, maybe a Caesar salad? What do you like to add to your salad with a dressing? The most popular salad dressing in New Jersey, from a recent poll is Italian. Ranch dressing comes in a close second.

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.
