The problem is not in making the salad. The problem is all that you have to
buy to make the salad. You simply can not make one small good salad...and
by good I mean with a lot of different ingredients in it, without having a
ton of leftover stuff. You just can't.

Just read this. Family planning in UK is something entirely different))

and Julie this is the bigger issue to me,

your problem, at least to me, is that you don't deal well with left overs,
you need to work out a soup recipe you can make at the same time you are
making the salad.

by doing this yo can chop everything up, make say enough salad for you and
dd to each have two servings, then dice all the left ove stuff into a pot
and immediately start that soup, i would put the broth in the crock pot and
get it warming then dice all the veggies you want make up the four seperate
salads and then see what is left you can chuck into the soup. If you did
that it would cover several meal servings, and you would have less to do for
a day or two,

I don't make soup very often. Partly because I am the only one who likes
it. And partly because we are not usually home to eat it. I have to make
things that daughter can pack to take with her to dance. Her current
complaint is that she wants only cold food. Apparently if she takes the
time to use the microwave, she doesn't get a seat. Seating is limited.
Yes, she could take a thermos but her locker is very small and I'm not sure
it would fit in there. So if I make a salad for her dinner at dance, there
is no day later in the week where we would eat soup.

If you really believe that and make it a truth - even when you get
your supplies from the salad bar where it's entirely possible to LIMIT
what you buy... then it sounds like you need to give up salads because
you will never figure out how to do it right.

Oh jeez! Of course if you get you salad from the salad bar you can do it.
But realistically how many salad bars are there? In this area not very many
and they are very expensive.

Hospital caffeteria's around here all have great salad bars and
they're much cheaper than a restaurant.

Not all are the same and many people aren't close to one but if you
have a good one they're great. The one by me even has bocconcini and
kalamata olives at the salad bar. They've got a food court and you
can get damn near anything you want there. The taco bar is really
good there too. Louise spent a week in the hospital last fall and I
ate there all week and it wasn't much more than eating at home.

No hospital near here. There is one in Edmonds. Salad bar can be okay at
times. Not too good at other times. And now the cafeteria is only open at
certain times and they close early in the day. They don't have "to go"
boxes either.

Didn't you begin this thread by saying you made your salad with
components from the salad bar and complaining about how much you made?

No. I said I did *not* do that this time because I wasn't at the store with
a salad bar.

So, you *do* use a salad bar from time to time and you still can't get
it right.

Pay attention! This had morphed into making a green salad for one.

I also said when I *do* use a salad bar I can't always find what it is that
I want. So I am forced to buy more of something than I need for the salad.
Jeez. Can it be over already!?

Then DON'T.
Or just do what normal, non-psychotic people do and use the vegetables
in other recipes.

I suppose i invariably have leftover lettuce but i only use lettuce when
im serving a green salad to guests. And then any leftovers leaves and
stems & etc. get tossed in the stock pot.

When i make a green salad for myself and the ER (Elderly Relative) i
generally include a small head of broccoli (about 1 cup finely chopped)
small dice of one whole green and one red pepper, obviously not large,
3 - 4 green onions, diced, a small diced tomato sliced & diced and
some garbonzoes.

All tossed in my home made vinaigrette.

Served with pouched, diced & marinated breast of chicken. For half of
the above salad, for myself i add sliced raw mushrooms and a few green
olives, roughly chopped with with a few garlic herbed croutons...

If i make the vinaigrette for immediate use i add just a pinch of salt,
other wise i usually have such a vinaigrette already made up. I find
that a vinaigrette is much better as little as an hour after it has been
made, and even better after 24.

I now a days i prefer to eat a hefty, large, what i call a dinner
salad, 3 - 4 times a week for dinner rather than a small salad every day
with lunch and diner, though back in the day, when i actually had a job
i often had, for lunch one of the local restaurants "big salads" which
often came with an over abundance of bread and butter. For a number of
years, i never had to buy bread for the winter holidays dressings or
stuffings.

And of course, im not above a bit of left over marinated salad veggies
for b'fast.

Oh, now you're just being contrary.

Sure you can. I do it all of the time. You just have to get it
through
your skull that a salad doesn't need to have everything but the
kitchen sink in it. Put in lettuce, three other vegetables and enjoy
it for what it is: a celebration of lettuce and three vegetables.

Actually you can use all the different produce you want... just gotta
own a fridge for the LOs.

That's just a salad. Not a really good one.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
