I would say not.

Jolly nice though 👍

Well never did I see anywhere that a salad could be too big <shakes head>

I did finish it.. and I’m having fish pie for dinner later too! 😮😮😮

I'd fan myself with a lettuce leaf in shock but I ate the last one for lunch.

BrendaSmall · 06/02/2026 16:11

Definitely not!
it’s salad, hardly any calories in the actual salad, calories will be in the cheese & pesto
i love a bit salad but I don’t have anything else with it only lettuce tomato cucumber red onion peppers beetroot gherkins and sometimes sweetcorn

CowCowSheep · 06/02/2026 16:11

it might be massive but is it mahoosive?

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 06/02/2026 16:14

Looks like lunch. Not massive but OK with the crisps. Too much pesto for my taste unless there's a ton of pasta under the leaves to soak it up?

I did think it was broccoli at first, Sometimes do a salad of lightly cooked broccoli, sliced avocado, red peppers and French dressing. Not by itself though - needs a jacket spud or similar for substance.

Fish pie... 😋

Beetroot! But that's basically all sugar. Dread to think how many calories in it! (and what it will do to your blood sugar levels.) Ought to be bannned by the sugar police.😝

It isn't far off, but as long as you atone for your sins by whispering three Hail Mumsnets before you go to bed tonight you should be okay.

But would it fill 3 teens for a week all at least 6ft 🤣

Surely a MN massive salad fills a tiny tapas type side bowl? One lettuce leaf, one cherry tomatoe, a slice of cucumber and your full and bloated all day after? With enough left over to feed your teens?

propercoppercoffeepot · 06/02/2026 16:24

I'd happily eat multiple containers 😆

TallulahBetty · 06/02/2026 16:28

Yes massive salad, but where are the picky bits and naice ham?

Hellohelga · 06/02/2026 16:31

Xerp · 06/02/2026 14:25

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

Yes normal size salad but massive splodge of pesto.

FurForksSake · 06/02/2026 16:34

Should have had some pombears with jt and then it would have been hilarious.

EvangelinaMae · 06/02/2026 16:36

I wouldn't call that a massive salad.

BunfightBetty · 06/02/2026 16:37

Ooh, you didn't eat all that to yourself, did you? I couldn't manage all that, it would do me and DH for breakfast, lunch and dinner, today and tomorrow, at least.

Silverfoxette · 06/02/2026 16:37

DaisyMayBojangles · 06/02/2026 12:59

buuuuuuurp!

#gorged

Good I hope you really enjoyed it! Not massive, normal size

JudgeJ · 06/02/2026 16:38

DaisyMayBojangles · 06/02/2026 14:59

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

But no fish fingers?

ElectoralControversy · 06/02/2026 16:39

I was squinting at the green stuff wondering if it was broccoli or kale
Excellent choice

A local pizza place does one with pesto instead of tomato sauce, it's delicious but good lord the grease level 😳

Hedjwitch · 06/02/2026 16:40

I hope you inhaled it

BendSinister · 06/02/2026 15:37

Only if you think the ‘benefit’ of a salad is that it’s low-calorie?

Ha exactly. Food innit

watchingthishtread · 06/02/2026 16:51

It depends. How many people do you need it to serve?

Changedname9999 · 06/02/2026 17:09

Sorry it looks a bit of a mess to me. Not aesthetically pleasing. But i really don’t like broccoli so maybe that’s put me off.

I had bed of lambs lettuce. With stir fried lamb steak pak Choi, garlic ginger chilli. With Caesar salad and balsamic vinegar dressing. Now that was delicious.

TheMorgenmuffel · 06/02/2026 17:12

No.

GarlicBound · 06/02/2026 12:54

Oooh, that salad's so massive, I'd be stuffed after eating a quarter of it! I wouldn't be able to touch another morsel for at least 24 hours. Don't say you ate it all, OP?! Are you very fat greedy active?

😏

A quarter? 24 hours?! You glutton!

A mere forkful and a half of that massive salad would sustain me for a least a fortnight.

Etc...

Mincepietastic · 06/02/2026 17:29

That and a roast chicken could have fed a family with three growing teenage boys for a week!!!!

shrunkenhead · 06/02/2026 17:30

Looks big to me, not sure if "massive" exactly, I could probably finish it all.
