I must not be brainwashed enough yet <shrug>
Many salads contain no greens. Carrot raisin salad and waldorf salad are
two examples. Then you could have a lovely salad of nothing but tomatoes
and mozzarelle cheese (a Caprese salad) with a bit of basil.
The salad Nancy photographed at Whole Foods is a commonly made one in my
house in the summer. The addition of some nice calamata olives is good too.
