And another food post

Our local grocery stores sell packets of various salads. We don’t buy them all that much unless they have been reduced. The exception has been the crunchy salad which consists of shredded cabbage, carrots, spring onion and red onion with Asian crispy noodles and a bit of thousand island dressing. Not that we have bought it at full price all that often but it’s good enough that we would buy it just because on a few occasions. Now that we have the new food processor, the need to buy these packets is gone. The other day I bought my own cabbage, onion and carrot and made my own crunchy salad in a matter of five minutes. Most of the work was in the clean up (which took another five minutes). We also bought crispy chilli noodles at the store and a low fat dressing. For a little more than the cost of that prepacked salad, I have made about three times as much and liked it far better. I’m going to try some variations on those ingredients over time so we can keep it interesting.
