This struck me as funny because this is the salad I pick in my backyard [emoji38]View attachment 32819
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
But I must say, that's a pretty garden.

Mmm, that sounds good, El Aurens. I have a bottle of balsamic vinegar that I'm planning on reducing to use on salads. A combo with soy sauce on veggies sounds really good.
Thank you! You know that row of bright green ones is romaine, right?Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Rainbow chard! So pretty! And red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce and spinach [emoji38]Yes, I love romaine.
But you also have that evil purple stuff! [emoji317]

Linda, you're so right that it's tough to get a restaurant salad without these icky "teeth sticking" field greens.
I love a romaine salad but sometimes I want something other than a Caesar Salad.
Every time I see this thread topic, I feel a little sad, because I love most vegetables and I'd rather think about new ways to use the ones I like instead of talking about the ones I don't
That said, I don't like beets, turnips or eggplant, or bitter greens. I don't consider chard or bok choy to be bitter and I like those sautéed or stir-fried with aromatics and some kind of vinegar. I have quite a collection of vinegars.
One of my favorite salads is the Asian Chicken Sesame salad from Panera. It's all romaine hearts (my favorite part) and so delicious with that sesame dressing. I'll have to get one of those for lunch this week when I go back to work.
They changed the name to the Russian Roulette Salad. You never know which salad might have E.coli.

Now spinach I love. I love baby spinach salads as well as putting baby spinach in wraps, pita sandwiches, soups, scrambled up with eggs etc.
I do the same, especially with scrambled eggs. Cooking for one, when I buy a bunch or bag of spinach I try to add it to everything. Especially my morning scrambled eggs. I chop it up and add it to tuna, egg salad sandwiches, green salads, use it in place of lettuce in cheese or meat sandwiches, rice, potatoes, chili....anything. I try to use it all, but once in a while some goes to waste.
Linda, you're so right that it's tough to get a restaurant salad without these icky "teeth sticking" field greens. ...
And yet to some of us, that is a lovely, delicious work of food art. So, Kay and Linda (any anyone else), just maybe you can pull back on your vehement protestations and just say you don't like something? Please, pretty please?? And I won't tell you that your (whatever food you like that I don't) is vile and should not be served to man or beast.Oh my gawd, that looks disgusting....

Otherwise, GG and I might be tempted to post nightly photos of field green salads. BwaHaHa!

Aww, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to offend you
And you're right, my words were a little harsh. Actually, the salad itself looks very pretty. But just knowing what it's made of turns me off, as I've had a couple of bad experiences with such greens, in an attempt to like them, and it just didn't work out.
I promise not to be so rude
