Do you ever get in a salad rut?! I know I sure do.

Sometimes, I'll look in the fridge for a salad idea and all I can think is "ugh."

I guess we all win and lose some sometimes, right?

It could be that while being home for so long I've lost salad inspiration, am at a loss for what to buy in my weekly grocery trip (my main dishes seem to get the priority lately), or just don't have as many fresh ingredients around.
