This is a good choice! Salads seem simple but to make it interesting involves a lot of prep. And too often you go to the fridge and the ingredients either wilted or froze, plus when you’re done it’s still just a salad even if it’s a really good one. Being able to say, “I’d like a nice arugula with apples and maple toasted pecan bits, balsamic dressing” or maybe “How about miner’s lettuce and baby red leaf, with sliced grapes, Monterey Jack, sourdough croutons and nasturtiums, and put a little toasted sesame oil in the dressing.”

Turn a simple burger into a gourmet meal, and healthy too.
