It wouldn't happen to be this salad or this Janet, would it?

I tend to use my salads to get rid of whatever vegetables or fruits I have around before they spoil, rather than buying things specifically for them. If I didn't do this, I'd probably use spinach as a base more often than iceberg lettuce.

Mine does as well, celery, carrots, onions, radishes, tomatoes, peppers, bacon, etc. It's just that I really don't

I had Cobb salad at a cafe for lunch: practically half an avocado, at least three slices of bacon in it, one breast of chicken, a whole hard-boiled egg...and then there's the dressing.

"Anything with mayo in it, like a potato or pasta salad, is a non-starter for me."

We're on the same page there. I usually have a jar of mayo in the fridge, and it usually sits there until it goes bad. Why I even buy the stuff, I don'
