Looks nice but really needs greens as one poster said.

Once in a while few years back we use to take home a salad from our
local grocery store which had a huge salad bar but got way too expensive
even with the small take out containers.

Couple years ago our board of heath went around various local grocery
stores- both inner city & suburban stores- and took back to their labs
sides from both the salad bars and those free samplers you find on deli
counters and samplers people pass out in stores.

After hearing the results of lab finds we will NEVER again even look at
any salad bars nor taste free samplers in any grocery stores even Whole
Foods which opened a new store 3 miles from us and looking forward to my
first visit.
