I’ve recently had a change of heart regarding bagged salad mixes. I used to view them as an example of corporate marketing pushing products that only laziness or incompetence on consumers’ parts could possibly justify. Several weeks ago I purchased a bag of salad mix and, surprised, found myself eating more salad. With dinners, as a snack, even the occasional breakfast. I realized I’d been avoiding salads simply because they took longer to make than I was interested in spending at the moment. With the bagged mixes it’s so easy to pour it in a bowl and add some veggies: cereal for grownups. The final breakthrough came at the farmers market: several of the stalls now offer mixed greens. I can now enjoy the ease of a bagged mix without the attendant questions about pesticides and petroleum.
Perhaps it’s my laziness, but so be it. I love bagged salad mixes.
