What is an addiction but a habit your body has come to depend upon? About a year ago, I began to make and eat a salad each day for lunch. At first it was a way to lose weight but now if I don't have one, I develop a craving. When we got back to Mount Shasta after the Christmas holidays I found myself going from store to store, choosing fresh and off-beat items for my daily salad. My mouth watered the entire time! Lettuce must be cold, crisp, and dry. If you are in a hurry and just purchased the lettuce, after using the spinner, you can place a paper towel in the bottom of the bowl while you assemble your salad. Then once everything is in the bowl (and before adding the dressing), just roll up the towel, gently compress, remove, dress and eat!
In Europe we found that many restaurants did not offer elaborate salads like we routinely have in California. In Italy, when we asked for salad, we were served a bowl of plain lettuce with some carrot grated on top. We fought over it! It's an addiction.
