[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are bored because you only like four vegetables + lettuce. You need to expand your palate. [/quote]

Partially true. I do vary it a bit with different combinations of pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, cauliflower, cucumber, celery, carrots, tomatoes, mixed lettuces, cabbage, flax seed, cashews or walnuts, etc. Even occasionally resorting to caesar salad or making a large salmon/grilled chicken caesar salad my dinner.

But I also just get tired of making salad and tired of eating a salad in general every night.

Are you just eating salad and nothing else? I am middle eastern. A side salad is a staple for dinner but it’s not the main meal. It’s the same salad every day and serves as a palate opener. We then usually have some variation of a stew which has a lot of veggies. As an alternative to a side salad we may have soup. Also if the soup is heavy enough we may have it with a salad. Make sure your main meal is full of vegetables and then have a salad as an appetizer. If all you are eating for dinner is a raw salad then you will get sick of it easily even if you vary the ingredients and the dressing. Also don’t be fooled by dressing. Most aren’t healthy. Best is a simple dressing of olive oil, lemon, and salt. [/quote]

It is a side to the meal. Though, it is usually a decent sized salad because I want to get my vegetables in for the day and reduce main meal portions. I'm trying to include more veggies with the main meal; but since I don't like very many vegetables, salad is the best way to ensure a good amount for the day. I have mostly been using an apple cider vinegar dressing or an olive oil dressing. I admit, usually store-bought low sugar varieties; but sometimes homemade.

Even as a palate opener, you don't get tired of the salad every day?
