It sounds silly, but if you don't like typical American salads, try picking up some leafy greens from Asian supermarkets. I've found that I'm really into Tong Ho (chrysanthemum coronarium), green onion salad with a bit of soy sauce, Bok Choy with lots of garlic, and raw spinach + arugula....but I can't stand iceberg lettuce or really any vinegar on vegetables like almost all American restaurants have on menus. Because of my tastes, it wasn't until I had an Asian girlfriend with a great cook of a mother that I actually started enjoying veggies. Hopefully this helps at least one other person out there who has had bad taste experiences with salads and doesn't eat enough greens because of it.
Whole Foods and other places also have some quite good-tasting protein/smoothie powders which have lots of green content. I've also found that aside from not minding the taste of wheat grass (when mixed with citrus flavors), it makes me feel noticeably "fresh" and "well" for a few hours after ingestion. Try it!
- vram22 10y agoInteresting, thanks for the info about the greens. Had not heard of Tong Ho. Just googled it and it seems the scientific name has changed, also the article has some pros and cons of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glebionis_coronaria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glebionis_coronaria The wheat grass symptoms you had might be due to it having vitamin E - just guessing here.
