frozen salad?
 

For lunch today, I decided to get a buffalo chicken salad from a nearby grocery store. They generally have good salads, so I wasn't concerned. When I returned to my office to consume said salad, I noticed that the lettuce and carrots were frozen. Not just really cold, but frozen solid.

If I allow it to sit out to thaw, will it be edible then? I'm not going back to the store to return it (it was all of $5), but I'm pondering if I can salvage it. Can I heat it in the microwave for a few seconds?

The carrots will probably be fine. The lettuce will turn to a green liquid slime.

On that note, the salad is now in the garbage. :(

Or is it that carrots turn to orange liquid slime??

Shudder! Either way, the salad is thawing, in the garbage can. :D

Yuck, no way to freeze lettuce. Sorry you missed out on lunch. You really should get your money back though. It was probably stored improperly.

It's $5, and by the time I'd have stopped after leaving work, the salad wouldve been thawed.

You can salvage it with a gun.

but it would have been thawed and slimy, therefore proving it hadn't been stored properly.

True, but still, it just didn't seem worth it to me.

The salad may not have been frozen intentionally, it may have been placed too close to the cooling unit in a fridge, or placed in a malfunctioning fridge. You should go after work and mention it to the manager so he can take appropriate corrective measures.

And if it was frozen intentionally, let him know that - uh-DUH! - that will ruin a salad.

Keep the reciept. He may offer to give you a refund even if you don't take the salad with you.

Damnable misleading thread title!

I though I would see a recipe for that old Southren standby, an actual frozen salad laden with fake whipped cream, fruit cocktail & chopped precans, Dixie's response to that noxious Yankee dish, "Waldorf Salad".

I don't know if I have the receipt, but since I do most of my grocery shopping there, perhaps if I stop by in the next day or two, I'll mention it, more under the concern of whether or not they are storing the salads correctly.
LOL, sorry to disappoint you. :(
