This is my biggest problem with salad.

There's millions of different ways to consume vegetables, cooked, uncooked, whatever. But when you pour a full litre of dressing into a bowl of raw veggies in order to make it palatable, why not just make another dish entirely from the very start? Make ratatouille, or pair in season tomatoes with cheese, or fucking anything that's not a dish the large majority of humans dislike and have to force themselves to eat

Dressing balances and seasons the vegetables. A big bowl of salad for 4 people only needs at most half a cup of good dressing.

Here is my favorite recipe:
4tbs evoo
1tbs dijon mustard
1tbs of good white wine vinegar
.5-1 clove of minced garlic
S&P

Mix everything except oil. Slowly drizzle evoo into mix until emulsified. Add 2 tsp of water to thin.

Healthy, simple, light dressing that seasons everything and brightens up the greens while not over powering any of the other flavors.

I eat salad with raw vegetables. Lettuces, spinach, broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, it's all good. I have a serious sweet tooth, I love cakes and chocolate but I like vegetables raw and I know it's important to eat them. To me there's no point to eat vegetables if you're going to drench them in crappy cheese or ranch

Sometimes I'll add a very light drizzle of olive oil and/or a small amount of feta cheese.

Pretty much what most people turn to when they think "healthy food", when it's bland and has no sugars at best. Why spend 10 minutes poking and proding at a supbar salad for 90 calories. Better off just not eating that rabbit food. Unless you cut into large chunks, which I know damn well most don't do. Better off just steaming actual vegetables that are worth the prep time.

The standard American concept of a salad is garbage since they think it’s just lettuce tomato and onion with a store brand dressing. Even making your own dressing is easy and amps up a salad tenfold. Start experimenting with other cultures salads like the med/Arabic cucumber tomato salads and eating a salad starts being less of a chore and more of a flavorful side to your entree or a topper to your sandwich/wrap.
Real chads start experimenting with shit like cottage cheese and salad greens and realize that cold salads can absolutely mog tons of apps or sides.
As an entree though salads don’t have enough substance to them

The whole point of making an emulsified dressing is that it holds the seasoning and evenly coats everything.

If you do just lemon,evoo,S&P the oil coats everything and the lemon with the seasoning ends up at the bottom of the bowl.

People how dont like a salad cant cook its not lettuce and carrots in a bowl its tomato onion , slice's of carrots and celery chees and sunflower seeds bacon bits and chopped pepper with pickled mushrooms. Many people spend 5 dollars on a hamburger but when its time fore a salad its a hand full of lettuce and no peppers no spices wares the love you can't expect a once ina lifetime experience from a bag salad .Touch play feel the texture took at the colors salid should be an experience not just belly filler.
