I've been preparing a few salads a week for my lunches for the past couple of years. I don't eat a salad every day...and I never thought I would be described as someone who enjoys eating salad all the time, but here I am, almost 40 and its my healthy lunch option that I am proud to admit makes me not feel guilty about some of my other non-healthy eating choices. Basically, I saved a bunch of those wal-mart salad containers (and I still buy new ones occasionally when I have a busy week) and I just put my own ingredients in there. I probably consume more calories, but I try to add more fruit and fresh things like mint. Every day, I go into the closet and prepare my salad by dumping the romaine hearts into a bowl, throwing the toppings on and putting the dressing on and mixing it up. I try to do this about 10 minutes before lunch, so that I can watch the students during lunch dismissal. It makes my lunch feel a little longer if I already have this out of the way. My students have picked up on this habit and started asking me if I need to go prepare my closet salad. And another kid asked me about my big bowl choice....I explained that if I have to have lunch in a classroom, I'm at least going to eat it off of a real ceramic bowl so that it feels like I'm at a restaurant. He told me that it looked super bougie....which is a teenager way of saying it looks kinda fancy and rich. So yeah, I'll be having my bougie closet salad every day thank you very much.
