Read this and you'll never suffer through a dressing-soggy salad again.
With Sweetgreen, Chopt, Just Salad and others (the list goes on) popping up in every suburban strip mall and on every street corner, it’s safe to say we’re living in the golden age of the to-go salad. While it’s pretty delightful that we can get a flavorful salad full of high-quality, healthy ingredients with a few taps on an app, I have to admit that I have some issues with these salads.
While they all have what it takes to be delicious and nourishing, I often find that if I order them with dressing mixed in, the lettuce is soggy if I don’t eat it quickly enough. If I order the dressing on the side, it’s usually not enough. And even if I do order enough dressing, the greens still end up soggy sometimes.
