I understand this is fatpeoplehate so my comment might seem a little too informative BUT I have been super surprised at how uneducated all Americans are about nutrition regardless of size. Which talks to your point of salads. I have been following a vegan diet with my wife and kids for almost 2 years now. We're a family of shitlords complaining about fat people and how they fuck up everything. (Went to Disney on ice. This hamily shows up late and the whole row had to empty because they were too fat to scoot by. When we were leaving father fatty could only take one step at a time, he couldn't walk the steps one foot after another.) When we mention that we are vegan and looking for vegan options at restaurants we are often met with "vegetarian" options. We don't want eggs, we don't want dairy, we don't want fish. The looks are always lost faces. What do vegans eat right? Must be iceberg lettuce. The reality is vegans eat stuff you have never heard of and its fantastic! Last night we had "salad". I made tabouleh salad (tomatoes, parsley, bulgur wheat, spices) with a cucumber dill sauce (cucumber, coconut based yogurt, dill weed, lemon juice, pepper). My wife made falafel (chickpeas, flour, bread crumbs, and some other spices and shit) and home made hummus (chickpeas, tahini, almond milk, garlic). We took some wraps, spread the hummus like peanut butter, added a solid layer of tabouleh salad, hot falafel on top and trimmed with the dill sauce. Wrap it up and chow down. It sweet, spicy, tangy and god damn good. But in it's core its a tomato parsley salad with chickpeas, dill dressing, in a taco shell salad bowl. It's all about the prep work.
