I eat a Big Salad five days a week at work. My suggestions: Dollar Tree has a line of plastic containers from Betty Crocker or McCormick (depending on your store). I use the 5 cup bowl for my salad and the 1.5 cup bows for ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, did I miss beans/legumes on the list? Garbanzo, black, cannellini, etc. Dressing suggestions you may not have seen: California Olive Ranch Apple Cider Vinegar, Lemonette Lemon Garlic and Noble Made by the New Primal Citrus Zest (I get them at Fresh Thyme, which is similar to Sprouts). I don't get a hot of flavor from the tuna packets except the sweet and spicy or Thai chili flavors. Star Kist also has tuna packets with rice called Smart Bowls: I find it best to heat these for about 30 seconds before adding to salad.
Roasted beets are incredible easy and add so much life and flavor to a salad. just wrap each individually in tin foil and then roast 400F until easily pierced (for me approx 80 min). Take them out, the skin peels off and chop them up.
This is a keeper, right alongside my 100 salads for the 100 days of summer from the NYT. Final bit of advice from my grandmother: “Don’t drown the salad!”
Did I just start a salad list on Pinterest and put all the cookbooks you listed on hold at the library? YES I did. Thank you for your service Margaret!!
I didn’t know I needed this. I read it right before lunch and was inspired to make a really nice ‘what’s in my fridge’ salad. Oddly enough I had roasted sweat potatoes and a homemade avocado sauce that I used as dressing. Thanks for the inspiration (now sussing out the perfect salad bowl)
I love salads, but during winter I need something warm. I tend to gravitate towards soups as my primary veggie delivery vehicle. But do folks have warm salads that would appeal to someone like me who has always frowned on them? (I don't love a roasted veggie in my salad, and I can't eat too many legumes OR meat because GI and kidney issues.)

This newsletter was obviously right up my alley!

I’ve been using leftover Democracy Dip as a dressing all week, and the dips as dressing revelation is real.

LOVE this! My favorite salad, which is especially perfect for cold weather, is the Smitten Kitchen crispy cabbage and cauliflower salad: https://smittenkitchen.com/2022/02/crispy-cabbage-and-cauliflower-salad/
