can we talk about how making salad is so time consuming?

I like my greens and being healthy but there's so much work in doing it that I rather have my dinner without salad.

the first thing I'd do one day whenever I become rich is hire a personal chef.

or perhaps invest in a partner that loves to cook. I can do the dishes 😅☺

I love cooking (I used to do it for a living) but I do agree that making salads takes longer than hot food! I hate washing-up so I could offer you a reciprocal arrangement!
🤔 .. They sell prepared salads in bags .. literally ready to eat. Choose the variety/ what looks freshest and eat soon after.

Am I missing why this isn't an option short of a chef or "cheffy" partner? ;-)
@YoMomma Tub of field greens and a rotisserie chicken .. salads, wraps ..very convenient

@BrandNewMan yeah ☺
@CrazyMusicLover I never buy anything prepared ahead like that w eggs unless fresh from the deli rather than produce aisles. Most of what I buy that way is washed at home, have a kitchen spinner gadget that spins like a washer tub to get the liquids out. More often its field greens and add my own other stuff, but a bag or two a month of prepared stuff over many years w no issues.
I prefer my greens cooked. Like Collards, Spinach, Kate, Chard. Or added to soups or beans like Dandelion Greens. In fact, Spinach is better for you cooked. Cooking gets rid of the Oxalates which can inhibit retention of nutrients.
@FlowerPetal then you don't really need the salad.
@JonLosAngeles66 I find it best not to cook Kate .. she gets a bit bitter 😂 (typo, I know but too good to pass up)

Collards done right are next level

I fully agree and hate making salads. I manually finely grated a carrot today and reminded myself why I don't do that more often.

@ArtieKat i don't have one. 🥲 guess I should invest in one.

@FlowerPetal Not expensive - mine was under £15 I think

@ArtieKat It's somewhere here too but just thinking about cleaning it made me reconsider. 😅

totally agree..and don't tell me to get those pre-packaged, pre-cut, pre-washed, pre, pre, pre...i want fresh vegetables.
FlowerPetal · 22-25, F
@sylvsn59 hahaha you say what's on my mind. I don't like it either
As granny used to say, "anything worth doing is worth doing right."


You just reminded me that I have to make my pizza dough today so it'll be ready for tomorrow.

@Jokersswild I'd like a slice.
sharing is caring 😄

I just grab mixed leaves out a bag and throw them on the plate.

They don’t really taste of anything, so you can basically mix it with whatever and feel good that you’re getting your greens.

I enjoy a good salad so don’t mind the work.
I make salad the meal, makes the prep worth it
@FlowerPetal im not either
FlowerPetal · 22-25, F
@Shybutwilling2bfriends make me some salad 😔
@FlowerPetal ok 🥗 🍅

If you prep and chop all your veggies/toppings when you get them, it makes making them much easier

I quit making salad. I just buy a bag of it. A lot cheaper and lasts about as long.

I guess u could buy those salad packs I see at the grocery.
true. I make a few portions of it at once.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
me me me... honestly though just buy the salad bags in the store and add some cucumber and purple onion
FlowerPetal · 22-25, F
@MartinTheFirst you what?

like many others have said thanks for the suggestion , but I like fresh salad so..
I do make my own salad from time to time but I guess it isn't enough for my health
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@FlowerPetal it is fresh if you buy it fresh
FlowerPetal · 22-25, F
@MartinTheFirst yes i guess lol
YoMomma ·
Why? It’s not that hard 😳
FlowerPetal · 22-25, F
@YoMomma haha it is when you do all the chores and make dinner. otherwise it is easy.
YoMomma ·
@FlowerPetal ah i see.
