What is top right?
Pretzel salad
I’m sorry, but that is very clearly a style of cheesecake. You can’t just call something “salad” when you want to eat cheesecake…
Why not?
Because it’s cheating. What stops me from tossing together bacon and cheese sticks and calling that a low carb keto salad? No, really, someone should stop me from doing that, I’m in my 40s now…
Nothing is stopping you but yourself. I just had some ice cream salad with Oreo croutons, it tasted healthy.
It’s not cheating when everything is a salad: https://saladtheory.github.io/
Serious answer: jello salad.
Edit: wait it really is pretzel salad. I thought that had to be a joke.
Just got home from a little get-together a few hours ago, can confirm.
Not gonna lie, this isn’t that bad. Especially if the dressing you drench them in is fatty instead of carby
Can you tell me how eating 2/3 plate of literally just meat and cheese is supposed to be “not that bad”?
I mean, it really depends on the details. I didn’t exactly claim these were balanced meals, and honestly I don’t think cheese has a significant negative impact on people. But we’re comparing it to what the person probably used to eat, to heavy-carb foods (especially “salads” such as potato salad), and to foods that lack nutrition. These salads have a lot of nutrition and not a lot of carbs. Salt and the worse fats are probably the biggest problem here.
It could be worse
Yeah it could be a plate of pure butter I guess
I wouldn’t eat this personally but it does have lots of protein.
25 cheeseburgers have that too
Yes. Only a wee bit cholesterol
Dietary cholesterol being bad for you is a myth.
at least a fifth of that is vegetables so it’s an improvement on the average diet
As long as you didn’t drench that in ranch it’d probably still be fairly healthy.
When I was losing weight, I learned it’s salad dressing that adds the calories. That shit has a lot of sugar.
Just about everything at the salad bar is okay. Try to have more green than meat. Cheese should be sparse. Harder cheeses are better than soft (e.g. cheddar is better than blue cheese).
If you need to cut the bitterness in the salad, try a few hits of Tabasco or oil and vinegar mix.
I hate Cobb salad simply because it’s all separated. I want my salad tossed, damn it!
Would you say you’re a tosser?
you can order it tossed
A couple times a year I think about the man I watched pour the most dressing I’ve ever seen used in a single serving. He made a comment about healthy eating.
I still wonder if I should’ve said something just in case he truly had no idea eating more ranch than greens for lunch does not mean you’ve had a salad.
Don’t forget the literal gallon of ranch.
Lite tho.
That looks like an illustration from a 1950s cookbook. Mystery meat, shredded stuff, crinkle-cut discs, quartered boiled eggs, all in Kodachrome. Yummy! (I would eat it.)
That looks fine, actually. Just replace the processed meats
You know that’s cheese not carrots?
I definitely thought those were carrots. That certainly changes things
What’s funny is that carotin is generally used as a coloring agent in cheese, to make it less pale, or I guess, in this case quite orange.
looks delicious tbh
My gawd - those hard boiled eggs are beyond overdone. Probably smells like a sulphur factory in there.
