Check out some of the prepackaged salad mixes; that's where we find the shaved sprouts.
I buy the salad bags sometimes when they're on special offer. They
sare mostly chopped lettuce, maybe some shredded carrot and little
else. On
some evenings I'll slice a few radishes, dice a tomato and dump them &
a bag of premix "salad" into a big serving bowl and pour the dressing
on.
Read the ingredients listing. Usually the sweet kale or lemon kale
mixes have the brussels sprouts.
Fare enuff. I usuall just get the lettuce based bags. My most "exotic" salad green is probably dandy-lions.
So step out of your comfort zone and try something different. The
bagged mixes are good when the combination of fresh ingredients is
either expensive or you know you won't use them all before they go bad.
We usually get about 4 salads (2 meals) out of a bag, YMMV.
Oh, I do. And I usually get the low-end bags and tart them up to my taste.
And I will usually, if doinf bagged salad - make that my meal so I don't
have to worry about the remainder becong a "science experiment" in the
reefer. Bv)=
