factors that prevents me from eating more salad are:
1. salad is rather "sparse" (what's the antonym for "dense"?) in food content. like, imagine a salad, now imagine what would happen if you cooked those veggies, and how much of the plate they'd fill up after being cooked.
2. i'm always a little wary about salads being unclean. ever since that one time i hear there was a recall on spinach that was linked to inducing hepatitis B. also how you sometimes DO find things like a wad of dirt on the lettuce.
still, i do pretty often partake of the salad bar when i'm at a buffet-style dining hall. usually i do like getting the spinach, since spinach + ranch dressing tastes good, and i often don't eat spinach otherwise due to its higher cost at the supermarket.
typical salad for me, when eaten with other foods: spinach, cucumber slices, dressing, maybe some cheese or bacon bits or croutons.
i do really enjoy eating at Sweet Tomatoes, a U.S. restaurant chain focused on salads. and yes, i like their salads, and i'm not just there for the soups and stuff.
if i'm there, my plate probably consists of:
* a few spoonfuls of a few of their pre-made salads, i dunno exactly what they are but if they look pretty green and pretty tasty i go for them
* my own made salad, which probably consists of spinach, those assorted greens (e.g. arugula?), cucumbers, mushrooms, carrots, onions, broccoli, maybe even peas? and various other whatever i can find there, i don't remember exactly. topped with ranch dressing (or italian if i'm not in the mood for something as creamy), sunflower seeds, croutons, cheese (could be shredded cheese or even cottage cheese) (especially if dressing isn't creamy), bacon bits, etc.
* some beet cubes on the side, and also some raisins on the side.
a thing i like to do is to add salad toppings to an entree.
i used to do this at a dining hall that had a salad / stir-fry bar but also had entrees, but which wasn't buffet-style.
if I felt my portion was too small i'd buff it up with some assortment of veggies.
