I refuse to buy mixed salad bags, pre-made salads, and pre-cooked beets.
so now I’m mega enjoying both mixed green salad and Caesar salad plus the joy of having red wine vinegar for the mixed green salad. Of course the Caesar salad has the caesar dressing, which is easy to maintain thanks to shops having infinite inventory on canned anchovy!
You seem to like making things hard for yourself. I am not a beet eater but I see the pre-cooked ones available everywhere...just beets in a shrink wrapped package so you don't have a beet mess everywhere. And you can still make a salad without beets. Dark leafy greens (spinach, arugula) are good for you. I also buy pre-washed lettuce a lot of the time. And I use anchovy paste.
Of all the thing not allowed as a kid, it is odd that you weren't allowed to have red wine vinagrette.
