I would say not.

Jolly nice though 👍

I thought it was broccoli too. Looks lovely, quite filling I would think with what looks like a lot of feta cheese and with the pesto probably higher in calories than it looks but healthy enough. I hope you enjoyed it

YesSirICanNameChange · 06/02/2026 14:19

It would take my 82 strapping 6-foot rugby playing sons a week to eat all of that!

dairydebris · 06/02/2026 14:21

Medium salad. Give your head a wobble.

greglet · 06/02/2026 14:21

Just to redress the competitive underrating with some competitive overeating:

I could eat three of those and have room for more.

pippapipps · 06/02/2026 14:22

Of course it's not too big I eat that amount of salad most days it's healthy..you're looking after yourself op

Sweetpea333 · 06/02/2026 14:22

Ridiculous! That would feed me, DH who cycles 17 times a day, and my 2 strapping 6'5" rugby playing teenage sons for 2 days!

Xerp · 06/02/2026 14:25

It’s a massive amount of pesto, if that helps?

MyBestThing · 06/02/2026 14:29

Not massive but looks good. I wondered what the green slime was! I would have eaten those shoots as well.

justtheotheronemrswembley · 06/02/2026 14:39

It is a large salad.

<bangs gavel>😁

FurForksSake · 06/02/2026 14:41

Come on now, you haven’t told us that you are a normal / healthy / small / slim weight and done a tinkly laugh about how you always eat massive portions but remain a respectable size 6.

Astra53 · 06/02/2026 14:43

That is a main meal type salad. It looks very nice!!

JLou08 · 06/02/2026 14:51

DaisyMayBojangles · 06/02/2026 13:03

No broccoli in there mate.. that’s pesto

I thought it was broccoli too 🤣 thought, I've never seen broccoli on a salad, I might give it a go.

Carouseloflife · 06/02/2026 14:54

No, it’s tiny but too big for me, I’d rather have a chip butty.

DaisyMayBojangles · 06/02/2026 14:59

I also had a grab bag of crisps and 2 Quality Street if that helps at all..?

We need to know what crisps before we judge.

princesspadam · 06/02/2026 12:47

All rugby players….

It's a main course salad but looking at the size of the container in comparison with the length of the fork, I wouldn't classify it as a Massive Salad.

I expect there are lots of Mumsnetters who will pop up to say they couldn't possibly manage that and that something on it is 'too rich', and will come up with an estimated calorie count for you without you having asked for one, and will give you some unsolicited opinions on how you could make it 'healthier', though.

I had a ham, Emmenthal, pickled vegetable and mustard mayo focaccia sandwich from a local bakery near us that does a daily sarnie using its own fresh baked bread. That definitely was massive; it barely fitted on to my plate. I still shared one of their fresh-baked Italian fennel sausage rolls with DP as well though.

Fends · 06/02/2026 15:18

Dunno but why is it covered in snot and slime?

ToriMounj · 06/02/2026 15:21

Looks lush

ToriMounj · 06/02/2026 15:22

I assumed that was broccoli but I went in for a close up when I saw the poster above say it was covered in snot. What is the green sauce?
I love anything that looks that fresh and interesting

ABeerInTheSunshineMakesMeHappy · 06/02/2026 15:24

Could do with a few chips on the side

Nah, Quavers/Wotsits or nothing. I'm definitely judging your lunch now.

DaisyMayBojangles · 06/02/2026 15:29

I feel so judged 😔

That's an enormous salad. Also is it in a styrofoam box? I can't believe you are having a side helping of microplastics in your meal. I personally only eat my meals from saucers made out of porcelain it helps to avoid both gorging myself and microplastics. HTH
