But, fortunately, my cousin is a conscientious, meticulous type person. She buys 'ready to eat' salads and washes the ingredients before serving them.
Who does that?
As it turns out, it's a good thing she does because the ingredient list should have read....a blend of escarole, leaf lettuce, radicchio, endive, and green stinkbug. Because that's what was in there. Are you cringing? I am. Especially because the color of the bug blends so nicely with the other ingredients.
Now I'm squinting and wondering how many green stink bugs I've eaten in my life. oh no.So here's your fair warning. Wash and carefully check your ready-made salads because all the ingredients might not be listed on the package.
But there is good news. The 'ready to eat' salad mix didn't have any preservatives in it. So there you go.
