I Want To Like Salad!!

[tinkerbell23]

...but i dont!!

I dont like lettuce etc on my sandwiches & I dont enjoy raw veg!

I love any cooked veg.

Trying to be healthier - does anyone have any nice salads that I could try? Even ones that mix fruit in with greens?

I dont think ill ever like lettuce EVER... but I am jelous of those who can sit down to a lovely salad!!! Xx

I can eat salad stuff so long as it has loads of yummy dressings on it, especially honey & mustard !

[ummmm]

I do have a windowsill but I have a sideboard with a big TV in front of it.

Places like Harvester tend to have adequate salads. You don't have to go anywhere near any raw vegetation. But aside from that, pet food us still pet food, nice doesn't come into it.

lettuces have lots of flavours and all of them are disgusting.

I eat a huge salad most days, for lunch, for a large portion of meat, fish, poultry, seafood, cheese or eggs. Love the stuff

Why does the salad have to be based on leaves?

Wholegrains are a good base ingredient on which to base a salad. You could add kidney or endamame beans, nuts and seeds and / or golden sultanas, raw veg or roasted veg such as beets and aubergines, goats cheese and griddled peaches / figs, or pear, stilton and walnuts, and always drizzle with copious amounts of balsamic glaze. Don't forget plenty of seasoning and dressing and fresh herbs such as mint and dill.

I should add that cooked, mixed wholegrains (wild rice, quinoa, puy lentils, spelt, wheatberries and suchlike) are readily available to buy in all supermarkets.

I find Tescos own just as good as any. You can add cous cous to fluff it out a bit.

I REALLY appreciate all the ideas! I think ones with fruit in aswell may suit me.

Probobly wont ever manage lettuce but love all your ideas so thank you!!!

It would be nice to be able to take a packed lunch salad sometimes
Or add onto a dinner!!! Xx
