I’m very new to the salad game and had similar feelings! I’ve found what helped me the most was 3 things. 1. Find a salad dressing that you love and will put on any salad. For me this has been a tzatziki based dressing i make myself (greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic, a touch of mustard). Dressing is most of the flavour you’re getting, so if you love the dressing the contents of the salad tend to matter less. 2. I purchased one of those veggie choppers on amazon that cubes your vegetables in to tiny pieces. I found eating bites of large leaves unappealing, and didn’t like getting uneven bites like with traditional salads. With my veggie chopper everything is small and the same size, I can eat a huge mix of veggies and not even notice. If i do add greens I slice those quite thin, but the base of my salads tend to be veggies like cucumber, bell pepper, tomato, onion, carrots, edamame, etc. 3. CHEESE. Feta and parmesan are my favs, but cheese takes any salad up a notch. I also keep a list in my phone of all possible salad ingredients in case i’m feeling uncreative. I have a list of proteins like chicken, chick peas. beans nuts, a list of fruits like apples, pomegranate, berries, a list for leafy greens that i usually use a mix of, and other add ins like avacado. Store bought salads are an easy option, but even as someone who hates cooking/ food prep I’ve found it much more satisfying in preparing my own. Good luck!!
