At home salad is our entire meal; veggies, meat, and carbos.... a big
bowlful of all kinds of veggies, sliced meat, cheese, and pasta/beans.
Btw. I never eat restaurant salads anymore, they don't properly wash
the veggies nor are they fresh, nowadays most eateries serve those
plastic bagged greens shipped up from those chicano factories, no
thank you... they're the greens that are the salvage that the tractor
ran over, rinsed in murky pond water.
