I guess when I sai...Warning: Giant comment, below!<br /><br />I guess when I said frittata, I really meant big, fluffy open-face omelet! No potatoes for us. Definitely other sautéed veggies, though! The salad thing – I know, it is a tricky thing! We get a giant box of mixed greens and split between 10 big bowl tupperwares. I buy it on Sunday and find the one with the longest expiration date. We include mainly drier ingredients, but they are a little moist. I do NOT mix the salads up. So, the bottom half of the bowl is the mixed greens. Then I layer ingredients, starting with the driest first touching the greens. Sliced bell peppers (red, green, yellow) and carrots first, then sliced cucumber (English/hot house are not that “juicy”), water-packed artichoke heart quarters squeezed of all excess juice, firm grape tomatoes (washed and dried thoroughly), and a couple of olives (kalamata or black) that have been dried thoroughly with a paper towel to remove juice. Blue cheese crumbles and cold sliced chicken/steak go on the very top (you could use black beans/garbanzos for meat free). We specifically AVOID the following because they don’t stay fresh: sliced mushrooms (turn brown), any type of tomato that is cut open, avocado (turns brown), anything else extremely moist. We have found these salads last 5 days with great “freshness.” Beyond 5 days? Nope. Day 6, maybe, but day 7 I know for a fact is no longer fresh :( We keep balsamic and olive oil at work and dress and mix the salads right before eating. Now that we’re transitioning away from dairy (no more blue cheese…sigh…) we’ll bring an avocado to work each day to split and add after dressing and mixing, instead.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735920718567395525noreply@blogger.com
