If you were going to tell me 20 years ago that I would eat salad twice a week, I would've slap you upside your head to make sure you weren't day dreaming. It's amazing how as we grow older our diet and taste changes over time. In the past I would have salad for lunch maybe once a year. But as of late I've been having salad one to two times a week.
The salad you see above is what I usually get. What's in it?
Mix Greens
Pesto Chicken
Oranges
Corn
Tomato
Egg Whites (2x)
Low Fat Honey Dijon Dressing
All together it comes to about $7.60 including tax and it comes with a small bottle of fresh orange juice.
Talk the TALK
1) Have you found that you eat something now a days that you use to hate as a child?
2) What do you usually get in your salad?

Yade Manson: thanks Yade. Taste good too which is important =)
Bruno Silva: it's important for cholesterol. you'll change over time like me =)
the salad looks great. i'm not really into having any sweetness in my salads though so i wouldn't get one with mandarin oranges or dried cranberries or anything like that. i used to hate asparagus but i don't as much anymore! i used to hate onions too but they're one of my new favorite foods.
♡A. Leungツ: WHAT you dislike chocolate? pass me whatever you get. =)

It looks good. Unfortunately i have tried to get into salad and eat more of them but i just don't like salad lol but its a good/healthy meal
crispy ☮: my coworker puts avocado in there but i'm not a fan of the taste. lately i've been getting the one. in the beginning i kept mixing it up to find what i like and what i don't
As a child, I always loved chocolate, and candy and all that stuff, but now, I kinda dislike chocolate :x I do love love salads!

looks good
I try to eat salads as much as possible - usually once a day. I like them with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. :)
yummy
very good
This looks tasty, I love salad! I've never been a picky eater and still am not one. I love to try new foods at least once.
This is a salad I would love to try making. I could eat salad every day as long as I change up the ingredients otherwise it could get boring. I used to hate brussel sprouts as a child but now I love them!
Looks good. I would add some cheese and subtract the corn =) Oranges? that's pretty different. Never had oranges in my salad.
Looks good!
looks good. it's great that you're eating healthier instead of McDonalds and other fast foods
I can't think of anything right now .... but I'll tell you when I remember. Wait, I think spinach ... I eat it now hahah in my salad! I love walnuts, eggs, raisins, tons of fruits!! :D
