Trader's Joe has a Greek packed salad. It is 2.5 portions and has some chopped lettuce (not a lot), same red cabbage, chopped cucumbers, olives and roasted red peppers, onion, a little bit of feta (that is why I call myself almost vegan) and an envelope of dressing with what it looked like oil, vinegar and herbs. When I've tried the first time I mixed all the ingredients and firstly it was waaay to sour (to much vinaigrette) and I as I had romaine leaves in my fridge I added quite a lot of them. The taste of rest of the ingredients still came through, maybe except the onion.
The next time when I bought this prepacked salad, I added extra onion, cucumber lettuce and it became a favorite very quick to put together salad that could feed few people also didn't wilt so I could refrigerate it and have the leftover the next day.
On one of this "next day" as I saw there was still lots of vinaigrette
on the bottom of the salad bowl I thought to add some beans, I had
cannelloni beans around (meanwhile I tried with pinto beans also) and it
was soo good.
I played with adding plant protein. Here is a pic with the salad with added garbanzo beans, but I do prefer this salad with the cannelloni or pinto beans.
