Salad rant

I hate salad. I am sorry, all you people who exist only in my mind who read this and think salad is great. It is not great. It is crap. Nutritious crap, but crap nonetheless. And somehow, for me, salad dressing does not improve matters.

I realize that if my mother ever reads this blog, she will twinge over the fact that she has completely failed in bringing me up to be someone who eats well. I mean, I don't eat terribly, but salad is the easiest thing in the world to eat and be like, "Wow, I made a healthy choice today." Whereas pasta, which is my favorite food, is the easiest food to eat and be like, "Wow, I should probably take a spinning class later to make myself feel better." Not that I've ever taken a spinning class either, thank GOD.

Anyway. So I ate a salad for lunch today. It was gross. I even put a hard-boiled egg, asiago cheese, and chicken nuggets in it. The problem is, I started trying to eat all that stuff and avoided the greens. Or just wince every time I ate greens too. I am not exaggerating.

SOO the only solution I have come up with for my hatred of salad is that I need to find things to eat that are both delish and nutrish, as my boyfriend would say. The problem is, my best idea of that so far has been putting a ton of cooked veggies in with my pasta and sauce and eating it that way...unfortunately, my roommate has pointed out to me that cooked vegetables have less of something important (nutrients? I dont remember) in them than fresh vegetables. (SHE likes salad. Freak.)
