I try to keep inventing new salads because it gets B O R I N G if you have to eat them every day. Along with the new salads come new dressings. Don’t you just get so sick of the same 6 varieties of dressings at the salad bar? They need to get creative! I invent my own because they don’t offer enough variety for me. They can come up with 35+ varieties of coffee beverages, but offer the same 6-8 old salad dressings (yawn).
They need to tone it down with the coffee because I feel like I am explaining a very complicated surgical procedure to someone when I attempt to order a simple coffee and I am not awake yet. Do you know what I mean??
