[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does anyone buy these >1X? Serious question. Once you get the idea of the components, don't you just buy the components next time?

It's not hard to have sunflower seeds, bacon bits, carrots, dressing on hand. Then you just buy cheaper washed greens. [/quote]

Making a salad is actually quite time consuming. Washing and chopping greens. Washing and shredding carrot. And cabbage. Frying up bacon.  And buying packs of slivered almonds, cranberries or whatever else you want for sweetnesses and crunch. Then, making the salad dressing. Measuring out the oil, lemon, mustard, vinegars. Peeling and crushing garlic. (I hate washing the garlic press after)

It’s one reason I don’t make salads often. [/quote]

I don't really put bacon on my salads but even so this is not my experience.

Washing a head of romaine, a cucumber, a pepper, handful of grape tomatoes, whatever other veggies you want in a small colander takes 2 minutes. Chopping, less than 5. I keep dressing in a larger container (and don't measure but I'd understand why some people might be more comfortable with that). Croutons? Bagged or in Tupperware. Cheese? Cut it or pour it. Cranberries or nuts or olives or whatever? Dump them. Boil an egg? Ok, that's 12 minutes.

I eat a lot of salad. Not hard for me at all!

Also personally I find the bagged lettuces taste funny. Not the plastic tubs, but the bags.[/quote]
