Yes, I've _considered_ making a salad at home, but by the time I buy ingredients I either have to eat the same for half a week in a row to try to use them up before they go bad, or just outright overpay.No, I can't go out and just buy one. Most places (there might be 1 or 2 out of like 30-40 restaurants 'car drive') near me only make a 'BS salad'.
What I could really use is a sort of 'ghost kitchen' that takes relatively simple recipes based on bulk ingredients that are in stock at fair prices and makes a meal. Or maybe even just reusable snapware packs individual ingredients at sane sizes.

Vegetables and cheeses tend to rotate every week.
I often times do my protein on the side but that's preference.
I currently have a love affair with Kewpie's onion and garlic dressing but normally go for some olive oil and vinegar, a pinch of salt and black pepper.
