People need to start to realize that if you get a fully loaded salad from one of these places with cheese, dressing, croutons, etc. that really isn't healthy. It's healthier than a Big Mac but it's not healthy.

Also, if you're gonna have a salad, make it your god damn self. It's so stupid IMO to pay $8+ for a salad.

I'm proud to say I was doing this before it came super cool and trendy. My go to at Chop't is romaine with carrots, cucumber, tomato, red/green pepper, egg whites and balsamic vinaigrette.

Yes, I know you all wanted to know what kind of salad I get. Don't deny it!

So if you make a salad do it by yourself.

they do. most dressings almost defeat the whole purpose of a salad.

Chopped salad doesn't just mean salad. It's a different way of preparing a salad where all the ingredients are chopped very finely so that it's more of a grounded up consistency and you get a little bit of everything in each bite.

A lot of the time it just ends with me eating croutons straight out of the bag.

At my bill rate, if it costs more than a minute or two of time to make an $8 salad, I'm depleting value.

People who actually enjoy salads for its taste are dead inside.

I like sweetgreen better than Chop't. Chop't offers vats of lettuce...with a dusting of 'other' stuff. My go-to is the shrimp one (Palm beach? Names have probably changed) with double lemon juice instead of dressing When you're in LA, you should check out Tender Greens.

At my bill rate, if it costs more than a minute or two of time to make an $8 salad, I'm depleting value. Ok, I don't take in my bill rate though... That said, spending $10 for lunch a day or spending $30 on groceries for lunch a week...it's not the thing to be most budget conscious about. I think the weight consequences of eating out every day are more significant

I once read that in the ones you buy finished there is a huge amount of sugar (in the sauce etc). So if you make a salad do it by yourself.

Subways used to do a great salad, where you could get any meat and all veggies on it for $5.00. I used to go for the expensive stuff including roast beef and spinach, to make it a chef salad. Which was really good stuff. Now they do a chopped salad, which I haven't tried yet.

Like this: Yes it is. And I understand the taste aspect but do you find it as filling as when eating a salad with bigger pieces? As, I can eat a chopped salad faster since there is less chewing required.

Lol, I am a pretty bad Jew when it comes to money. All my friends owe me money...so much in rounds, taxis, etc that I don't keep track of it. I should. Could probably save $2k more a year by being less generous. I'm above $240. Bill rates in the service industry have somewhat stabilized, though -- $240 is actually a high 'starting' rate at many firms... I think $800 is 'tops' at most places, $600 about typical for a principal-level employee, with a few $1000 guys out there. But idk.

If my gf gets a salad, I will eat the cheese/croutons/bacon on top. Because you ordered a salad, not all this delicious extra stuff!
