That statement alone is proof of how unsophisticated you are.
More does not always equate with "better"

For what they charge per ounce that can add up quickly.

But why bother... for about the same price (usually less) go to a
diner and be served a salad... and they will be happy to prepare a
salad to include/omit whatever... places like Friendly's, IHOP, and
the like will custom prepare salads... they'll even prepare salads to
go.
Anyway this is all moot, LJB has never said what she DOES want in her
salad (her idea of a salad is a ten scoop ice cream sundae with ALL
the toppings and a mountain of whipped cream, extra sprinkles too). I
think she's a psychopathic attention hog... people who constantly tell
everyone at every opportunity how they don't eat this or that and have
tons of allergies are typically those who eat anything and
EVERYTHING... they don't get to weigh 300 pounds by being picky eaters
and slouches at the trough.

I'm lucky in that respect. Not much of a pasta eater. Even less of
pasta salads. Yuk. To me, they're all like macaroni salad, which I
despise.

The one exception was a room temp salmon pasta salad. Amazingly, it's
a brain dead easy recipe. Basically, cold pasta, baked (or maybe even
canned) salmon, and plain ol' Italian dressing. Add some veggies like
onions and broccoli flowerettes and some shredded parmasan. Pretty
tasty.

I suppose it's a matter of taste. Immaculately fresh greens
with a well-made dressing is a WONDERFUL salad.

However, since salad is almost the only vegetable I
eat on a regular basis, I like to make sure I have at
least one of each color of vegetable in it, every chance
I get.

Wellllll....if we take it beyond the individual and specific to the
general.....Mankind is about the pickiest eater on the planet. At least
in the machinations, ritual, and down right whimsy it goes through to
acquire and prepare, let alone consume it's food with ever increasing
ritualism.

True, some life forms have a single form of nourishment that renders
them more exclusive than the human mammal, but that is less picky than
it is they way the life form is constructed, with no choice in the
matter. Even some Pandas and a few other mammals as well as other
species have very restricted diets. Especially compared to Mankind's,
which, it seems to me, will eat just about anything not actually harmful
to it and even then, arguments about sugar and coffee can be made with
as much vehemence as about alcohol.

But as I said, salad bars are few and far between here and they don't always
have what I want.

When I eat salad that is often the meal. So it needs to include some
protein and carbs as well.

I'm not bragging and I certainly don't see it as a shortcoming.

Well, I do. I'm a picky eater myself, and I see it as a handicap.

How do you define "a lot of different ingredients"? Three to four?
Four to six? I can make a salad for myself from lettuce or a
combination of greens, cucumber, onion, tomato, olives on the side. If
I use a slicing tomato, I might use half; if I use small cherry or grape
tomatoes, perhaps three; I regularly use only part of a cucumber at one
time in a salad; green onions or a slice of larger one; olives or not;
green pepper or not‹a slice or two.

Julie isn't smart enough to be a troll. Actually she's an honest to
goodness pointy headed imbecile... out of all the possible dishes to
have a problem preparing a salad has to be by far the least
difficult... I have like a hundred geese munching on my lawn right now
and all those silly geese are doing salad easy peasy as you please.
Even a dumb bunny can do salad. LOL

Thanks. And it couldn't be easier to prepare. I like to prep enough
veggies for four big platefuls, may as well while I'm at it... makes
four full meals and uses the full pound of pasta a fourth for each
plate. Then I vary the additions and dressings according to mood and
what's on hand. I actually prefer to eat pasta as this type of salad
than as the typical in tomato sauce style, especially during warm
weather... I use no recipe or measurements, salad is limited only by
ones imagination. And that's one of the four new every day dinner
plates I picked up at Walmart for $1.78 each, really very nicely made
plates, and they look as elegant as dinnerware costing twenty times
that price. I have a full set of service for 12 Alpico that cost me a
mint that I rarely use... but at $1.78 I don't even think about
breakage.

I might have three different kinds of greens, carrots, celery, onions, three
kinds of peppers, beets, two kinds of olives, tomatoes, two kinds of beans,
some nuts or seeds and maybe some cheese.

I'm not big on cucumber myself and likely wouldn't put it in my salad but
daughter likes it so it will go in hers. It is rare for us to use a whole
cucumber before it goes bad but I was able to do it last week.

I'm a picky eating and I've eaten octopus. Can't say that I liked it
though.

I grew up in a house of picky eaters and married into a family of picky
eaters. To me it's no big deal.

Thanks. I relized too late that I should have cleaned the plate edge,
but the picture wasn't planned, was a last minute decision to show
Julie how easy.

Ain't that the truth. My MIL's bunnies prefer a salad of marigolds
and lettuce. Perfect salad and colorful too.

Well, there you go. I eat salad as the meal about once a week, but
I have it as a side to the meat and starch nearly every day, or
sometimes
twice a day. We're each coming from completely different places.

Still, I enjoy a bed of romaine with grilled chicken and a balsamic
vinaigrette as a main dish salad. Simple and satisfying.
