I choose my salads to have an equal lettuce-to-toppings ratio, so after I’m out of toppings, we’re executed correct proper right here. That is my #1 restaurant salad frustration: I don’t ought to pay $13 for a bag of lettuce with paltry toppings. Save numerous the lettuce and please merely make it worth my whereas.
A minimal of put some cheese or actually scrumptious dressing on there….
And even throw in just a few dried cranberries. I acquired’t be mad.
