Last trip to the grocery store I couldn’t find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I’m very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there’s even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I’d expected.

      It’s not really cost effective versus buying separate but way cheaper than going to a salad place and it saves stocking space for different toppings and dressings. We started eating more salads because we dont have to eat the same kind daily.

        Yes, I suspect I’ll just be eating less salad now, unfortunately.

        On the bright side, I’ll save a bit of money that way. Hopefully I still get enough fresh stuff to dodge scurvy.

      It is an expensive way to eat. But somewhat makes sense for a single person meal

        Hmm, I find the full-size ones usually serve two.

        If you ate it twice you could make it work, but it’s going to be soggy on day two.

      Thank you, as OP I was getting ready to defend why I can’t just make my own salad against an angry European purist, haha.

      Every salad I personally make is ass in comparison - if I even bother on a busy day and with the hand issues I have. The ratios of things included are just right, there is (well, there was) a good variety available, and you don’t have to cut, wash and potentially roast a bunch of stuff for it because a big machine somewhere already did.
