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.

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".
