Salad Day 2



A couple of crises already on day two. A new rule has surfaced:

Dressing must be a vinaigrette


The other problem: I was on the road during lunch. Luckily I researched fast food salads beforehand and found my best bet to be Culver's Garden Fresco because it has the most different vegetables. Cucumbers, tomatoes, snap peas and salad greens are in the description. The salad greens "may contain" romaine, mizuma, red chard, arugola, tango, red mustard, lolla rossa, red or green oak and/or tat-soi. As far as I can tell only three of those are different kinds of lettuce. That means this salad could have had up to 10 vegetables!

Unfortunately because of the new rule I had to get the 190 calorie French dressing instead of the healthier 130 "reduced calorie" ranch dressing.

And then I put a chicken finger on it.

  1. French dressing seems to be a loose interpretation of "oil and vinegar" given that the first ingredient is neither of those but rather high fructose corn syrup. Hmmmm. The committee will convene and discuss this latest violation.

  2. it's a tough call. It does in fact have oil and vinegar in it, at least.

  4. What? "Oil and vinegar" is called vinaigrette. In fact vinaigrette was first translated into English as "French dressing". Besides, I was just messing with you about the calories. I had Italian at home. I wasn't going to have Culver's raspberry vinaigrette. Gross.

    I'm defining oil and vinegar as anything that separates and has stuff floating in it. The only people that eat oil and vinegar unspiced are psychos.
