Ok, you chocolate nippled bastards. cut up some english cucumber, tomato, small bit of red onion, real feta cheese, add tzatziki to it Mix. Then toast a greek pita with seasoning salt on top, then cut into wedges. Eat your salad with a side of pita.

[Anonymous No.13555796]

Because most Salad options that are Fast Food are terrible. Most Americans likely aren’t hitting the salad bar when going to a sit down restaurant and it’s associated with a flavorless diet food

I personally don’t like most salad dressings (at least the common ones)

antinutrients are only found in a high enough concentration in legumes to be of concern, and you can reduce the amount of antinutrients in legumes by soaking overnight, which most people do anyway.

Thing is, is bottled salad dressing always has preservatives that make it taste like shit. Get a tzatziki flat or make your own if you can. Add Trestella Feta to it after you crumble it, and it'll be god's food. Ambrosia.

something i theorize is that, most people think 'healthy' salad is just plain lettuce and tomatoes and nothing else, and the good tasting salad which has dressing on in is 'unhealthy', so "hurr durr if im gonna ear something unhealthy anyways, i might as well have the better tasting burger."

For a long time I hated salad because my mother forced me to eat it when I was a kid. As an adult searching for new flavors, I welcomed vegetables into my dishes.

I honest to god haven't nailed it yet. I still buy it. Greek yogurt and.. cucumber and dill but I haven't put a serious effort into it so I'm cheating. I just nailed tartar sauce and sweet tartar sauce(filet o fish sauce). I'll let you know as soon as I do it properly.

[Anonymous No.13559427]

salads get a bad rap because its a boring choice and its supposed to be "healthy" in reality eating salads at a restaurant has more calories than a regular meal ala the mcshaker mcdonalds salad debacle years ago.

its also kind of faggy to go out and order a fucking salad instead of a real entree. salads are supposed to be the finisher of a meal to cleanse your palate OR an appetizer, not a main course. it looks effete to order a fucking salad at a restaurant like youre a vain woman watching her calories, when in reality youre sucking down garbage calories in an attempt to virtue signal about how healthy you are.

Salad is fine. Just makes my poop the big poop.

[Anonymous No.13561254]

I love a good varied salad with a nice berry or mustard vinaigrette. I usually start with 2 types of greens (between spinach, arugula, or butter lettuce, though if you want a textural difference you can add some thin-sliced cabbage for crunch). Then it's just heaps of veg sliced on top: celery, onion, cherry tomatoes, shaved carrots, mushrooms, radishes, bell peppers, whatever I have on hand. Sprinkle on some salt, a few cracks of black pepper, and drizzle on the vinaigrette.

No, retard, allowing children to do whatever they want leads to them not developing as an individual.
Your little advice about “not forcing kids” or whatever is retarded, it is definitely not a good idea to be an asshole to your children and force them to eat things that make them sick, but it is also definitely not a good idea to just let your kid pick and choose what he/she wants to do at every interval

lazy people hate salad because they don't want to invest the time into processing fresh vegetables. They'd literally rather mealprep bland chicken and frozen peas or eat another shitty arby's sandwich than take the 10 minutes it takes to process vegetables for salad.

I never really understood the time investment argument. A good, simple salad only has to take minutes. It's so stupid people never learn to make one. You can even use left over meat, potatoes, whatever from the day before. Theyre missing out.

This. A salad can be simple or fancy depending on how you make it, it's a very versatile and nutritious meal option. Also considering how much cheaper vegetables and fruits are than less healthy foods, people are stupid not to eat more salads.
