Yes. I am that person that will go to any number of restaurants and order the salad. keep the dressing.

Give me all the vegetables that you have. Chickpeas. Keep the eggs and cheese.

Okay sure. I am watching my weight. But I legitimately just freakin love vegetables, and salad is just the epitome of vegetables. a little salt and pepper. maybe some crushed garlic.

Please stop looking at me like that when I order my salad. I want to eat it. I like it. Infact, I could probably get fat on salad.

Today my salad was an entire bag of Garden Express Sweet Lettuce Mix, Spinach, a quarter of an avocado, chopped green pepper, cucumber, red onion, half a plum tomato, salt, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder.

    I can take or leave salad, but I eat a lot of vegetables myself. I consider myself to be a vegetable eating vegetarian. Around half my groceries I buy each week are vegetables and fruits.

    Seriously, the veggies just taste better!

    I completely agree! I tend to bypass salads in restaurants or even at home, and then I eat them again and wonder why on EARTH I was eating anything else. Probably because it's been drilled into my head that we're not really supposed to enjoy salad? I don't know! Right now I have a big, simple salad for lunch every day (just give me lettuce and a little dressing and I'm happy, no need to even make it complicated). I hate that "oh, you're having a SALAD, you must be dieting" look that people give me. Sucks.

    Same here. With onions, peppers, raisins, the raisins really are amazing.

    Salad?
    What is that?
    Salad is that green stuff they serve with food - right?
