Mango? In a salad? What nonsense is this? Do you also allow pineapple on a pizza?? 🤮🤮🤮

Mango in salad is really nice. Putting fruit in salad is a thing.

@TheClangyClunk I stuffed it down with gay abandon!

These really middle class poncey ones

I am not sure reconstituted potato starch and rapeseed oil is very middle class. What you really need is the Torres EVOO crisps.

Each to their own but how can you possibly eat that much pesto?

Quite easily! It’s the cafe’s home made pesto is just da bom!

I'll probably be run off MN for this, but.... I can't stand salad as a meal by itself.

On the side, as part of something else, fine. But not just it, by itself. I don't care how much chicken or halloumi or fancy leaves or whatever go in it. Or even how gigantically massive it might be. Actually - the bigger it gets, the more unappealing it becomes.

I await the pitchforks 😂

DaisyMayBojangles · 07/02/2026 08:31

I hear you.. couldn’t do just leafy stuff, hence why mine is littered with feta and pesto! 😁

IMO it's average size, but it looks disgusting. 😖 Like something that's just washed up on a beach!

That made me laugh. It does look horrible IMO but glad you enjoyed it OP

Now now.. no salad shaming here please.

i find porridge revolting to look at.. like a bowl of sick but many people seem to enjoy it

Portion-wise it looks fine. But I'm curious as to what's in it, as it doesn't look conventionally "salad-like".

I see the feta and pesto and a cherry tomato - but what else? What's making up the bulk of it, the part that's buried beneath the pesto?

One of the major incompatibilities in my relationship is over salad. He
likes a finely balanced selection of leaves with a dressing he has spent 30 minutes tasting and tuning. I like that too, but what I really like is a big bowl of everything, including leaves, seeds, pomegranate, carrot,cucumber, green beans, peas beetroot, tomatoes, mango, any other vegetation I can find and crispy onions on top. And maybe some shaved Parmesan….

I’d have all of your salad except the beetroot. Absolutely hate that. People are missing out not putting fruit (especially mango) in their salad!

Not not a massive salad, unless its a garnish, then its big!

mondaytosunday · 07/02/2026 17:53

No looks like a nice one single portion if it’s the main event. If a side it’s big but I could eat it as I love a salad!

Well I suppose it depends on the size of the box!
Looking at the size of the cherry tomatoes, as a guide, then no. If however they are normal size tomatoes, then yes!😁

Cielovista · 07/02/2026 19:29

Too much cheese to be a salad….

BunfightBetty · 07/02/2026 19:38

Yet not enough to make an actual meal.

That’s the problem with salads.

From memory: lettucey type stuff (maybe lambs lettuce?), cherry tomatoes, cucumber, gherkins, olives, various seedy bits, feta and pesto

It looks smaller than the salads the Kardashians eat out of huge plastic bowls😂

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?

😏

just to confirm this is a joke comment isn't it?

I ordered a Greek salad earlier today to take away for tonight's tea........he cut up a whole block of feta & put on it! Now that was a massive salad with so many olives it weighed a ton! Obviously I haven't eaten it all 😁

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · 07/02/2026 22:47

Is there such a thing as a massive salad in terms of calories? Especially if it is only made of up of vegerables

Tuck in and enjoy!!

Kleptronic · 07/02/2026 23:01

I’m so middle class my crisps are made of seaweed and are called Emily.

DaisyMayBojangles · 07/02/2026 23:02

I love a Greek salad 🇬🇷.

My salad could possibly have been construed as ‘massive’due to the lashings of feta and pesto.

They certainly do a darn good salad in there I think.
