I tried to order the SaladSprinkles you mentioned, entered my email address as requested for future mailings and to receive free shipping.

I canceled the order but thought you would want to know there is some sort of restricted free shipping area.
Hi Patricia! Blakely from SaladSprinkles here. This was an error with our discount code that should be fixed now! Feel free to try placing another order, and if you have any issues, email hello @ eatsaladsprinkles . com and we'll get you sorted!
I love a giant salad with all the fixings! And reading your post yday was all the motivation I needed to make a big salad out of random leftovers in my fridge (some salad greens, avocado, celery, sardines, cucumber etc) instead of just an open-faced sandwich. And then again today! Looking forward to reading the next installments in this series!
Yes to the salad spinner!!!!!! I bought one years ago and dropped it recently - broke the damn bowl. So I immediately bought a new one because I use it almost daily. OXO made some serious improvements over the years so I was secretly excited to get a new one.
I love to add broccoli slaw to a regular old salad to add some interest. I also love the romaine and kale combo in your California Citrus salad. I tend to add beans and grains to all my salads to make it a meal!
I have to say that following a recipe is something I need for a really great salad. But I’m getting better at creating good combos on my own.
I only feel fancy tbh (slightly insane always tho) when I get to the second, smaller half of the head of cabbage and I can't be assed anymore to chop it up.
What are those “Salas sprinkles” you show in the photos? Also, my husband does salads and is amazing. He has been doing teeny chopped bits of cauliflower which look like feta cheese and are really delicious. I sometimes make sprouts of all kinds. I want to make mustard sprouts, I sometimes buy a pack at the local Persian grocer and they are fabulous in salad. Broccoli sprouts are supposed to be amazing for health, and they taste very spicy and delicious. My mom used to make sprouts in a jar and my dad called the 3 jars (the soaker, the baby sprouts and the edible ones) her “Farm.” She served a salad at nearly lunch or dinner. As she got older she decided to serve Romaine leaves whole, standing in a nice glass, with a small bowl of dressing for dipping. She called it her lazy salad. It was very fun and very easy. She would serve it with cherry tomatoes and maybe grated carrots and tell my dad to figure it out. He did!
Alas! All of this looks super good but won't be applicable for me. Spinach and lettuce are huuuge IBS triggers for me - I can occasionally do cabbage and kale but it's about 50/50. Salad is one of the things I miss most 😭 I do a cucumber-tomato-chickpea salad sometimes and enjoy that quite a lot, though! I just can't have 'salad salad.' Y'all enjoy those salads for me!!
Nooooo!!! I hate that for you. At least all the dressings are useful. There’s always potato salad, pasta salad, and all the chunky veggie and herb versions!
"chopped or torn by hand"? Babe, you need a lettuce knife in your life - that's true fancy. (Actually, what a pointless invention, but it is a thing if you'd like one). Thanks for all this and yes, bring on those salads!
Since I started making my own dressings I have found a whole new appreciation for salad. DYI dressings are the best to top a nice green salad with 😋!!!

Thank you, Blakely, I placed my order and the coupon worked. I appreciate your rapid response. 💕
Ohhh that’s weird. Let me check and see what is going on. You’re definitely not on Mars!

Texture texture texture

I like cottage cheese as a protein and make simple dressings with whatever flair I feel
Rice vinegar and pickled ginger
Yogurt and nutritional yeast
Spices
Bless the vinegars and yogurt combos
I also like some heated veggies from the grill on top too

They’re always bigger than expected. It’s Cabbage Law™️

Yes! They’re lil crispies that give your salad some extra crunch. I love all of these ideas too!
I am dying at the bit about giving your neighbors a low stakes mystery to chew on by drying your lettuce outside 🤣
I love to feed the neighborhood gossip mill lol
Yes! I just planted some lettuce, and am so excited for this series!
I’m growing lettuce too!!
Pics, please and thank you.

P.s. adding a vote for mung beans, lentils, chickpeas, beans etc. and - fuck it, why not? - peanuts.
I love peanuts in a salad!!!

Im so excited these posts will be available for everyone! I need more salad in my life and cant wait for you to get me excited about it.
Right?! Lots of salad ideas and recipes for everyone

It’s the only way to go
Yes! I've been 'bout that salad life since I was a kid. 😂 My favorite meal was a giant salad.
Sameeeeee
