People who hate salad aren’t doing it right! You add herbs and spices! I made the best salad last night. Romaine, kalamata and black olives, marinated artichokes, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, red onions, cucumbers, pepperoncini, pepper, oregano, parsley, garlic powder and a drizzle of Greek dressing. Tossed everything up and yummmy!
I used to believe lettuce, tomato, maybe croutons and cheese was a salad. Then I started eating those salads in a bag ( many from Taylor Farms ) sometimes with extras like diced tomato. chicken or tuna, avacado. Depending on the salad, even berries are a good addition. What i find most helpful, especially if you eat salad often, is to have a diverse selection, otherwise it gets boring quick
Salads based on spinach or lettuce is something I consider “American”. Consider looking at vegetable recipes from other countries, like Indian curried peas or Mediterranean tomato/cucumber/feta with olive oil….
