To tell you about the most delicious, healthy salad ever?

Yes, I know I could have made it and plastic packaging is bad for the environment but because it's just me tonight, I picked up M & S Superfood Green Salad and their salmon fishcakes as a one-off - Wow! It tasted so fresh and moreish and I could happily live off the stuff forever.
I love salad foods and eat them year-round but usually stick to peppers/rocket/lettuce/cucumber/white cabbage/courgette/olives/beetroot and carrot kind-of-thing. Also, watermelon/mint/feta is a favourite.
I would love to know what other salad-loving MN's think is tasty and whether any other shops have amazing fresh salads to go? Need to know what else I am missing!

Steak cut chips with that?

Yes.

I love the superfood green salad too! I buy one every week. I am not a salad person at all, so it must be good. How do they make it so tasty?!

I’d love to know and then make it for myself for 25p…

I love that salad OP. I get one every week with my Ocado order and have it over 2 days (bulked up with more boring lettuce / other veg & choice of protein). I think it’s probably my fave salad and a big part of the joy is I haven’t made it myself.

Do you know what OP. I absolutely love that you are such a positive person that you wanted to post on MN about how delicious your salad was. However I predict that the next 5 responses will be:

  1. M&S is overpriced, I refuse to shop there
  2. M&S salads may be nice but their knickers are shit now.
  3. Was it in a plastic container? That is shocking OP, won’t you think about the planet?
  4. I can make the same salad for 25p using vegetables I grew myself. You are so lazy.
  5. Salmon? Disgusting. You should not eat animals.

25p! You spendthrift. You should grow all your vegetables yourself. Let's just conveniently forget that this costs money and requires a huge input of time.

@Unopenedpackofmenssocks Yes, I totally understand but this was a one-off. I usually sprout my own mung beans/grow all veg on my miniscule patch/knit my own knickers with twigs and DH's pubes harvested from the bathroom floor😂

Oh no Grin

Show quote history

Unfortunately I get a Pavlov's dog response to M&S marketing threads 😅

No, Mumsnet can check that I am definitely on the level, not a journo or MS worker, just genuinely surprised at how tasty this off-the-shelf salad is.

I love the nutty super wholefood salad, sometimes get it with the honey smoked salmon. So good
