I want to eat healthy but i don't really like to eat salads. i add different stuff to them but i just don't care for them. Am I the only one who don't like salads really. seems like every one else does....

    Just because you want to eat healthy doesn't mean you have to eat salads all the time. I'm actually not a big fan of them either (not going to lie if I see a little bit of brown or pink on a lettuce leaf, I lose my appetite.)

    Trust me there's a lot more healthy food out there for you to explore.

    haha no it's not just you don't worry-- my friend hates salads, she feels they're bland... maybe try different kinds of salads like a quinoa salad :)

    How could you not like a good tossed salad?



    There are plenty of other finger licking tasty healthy dishes besides salad. :flowerforyou:

    I only like Caesar salads and like side salads with french or something...and I have to be in the mood or have a taste for it. So I dont think you're alone!

    I like salads, but I get bored of them easily. I'm going to get a variety of healthy dressings so I don't get tired of the same old thing. I'm also going to change up what veggies I add in addition to spinach. Maybe you just haven't found the kind of salad you like best yet :)

    Maybe try different types of lettuce. Regular iceberg lettuce is rather bland, but a good romaine is tasty. I'm not a huge salad eater, but do enjoy them once in a while. Try finding other low-cal foods besides salads

    I do love salads but sometimes I get really tired of lettuce. I made one tonight by just chopping roasted peppers, carrots and refrigerator pickles - no lettuce.

    I don't care for salads either, but I do like a southwestern salad, made with corn chips (a few), and a spicy dressing. You may try that. Very tasty!

    I love my taco salads that i make when it's taco night. but i can't eat that all the time. and i like to add chicken sometimes. but if i have a salad for a few day i will not eat salads for a few weeks and then the stuff goes bad. i get bored with it and i use to love them but i use to put ranch on them too so maybe thats way....

    Define salad!

    I have what I would call a salad every day (in that it's a cold mixture of raw stuff) but I'm not keen on the leafy lettuce stuff.

    I'll take:

    Some crunchy veg (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers)
    Something a bit fancy (mushroom antipasta in a jar, marinated artichokes)
    Some protein (tuna, egg, chickpeas, ham)
    Something with a kick (jalapeños. capers, olives)

    Could something along those lines be acceptable?

    Yes. It is just you.
    This is always the correct answer.
