Hello,
They can be extremely stubborn when it comes to eating their greens & veggies. How old is he?
You can try putting a few worms in with the salad or brightly colored pieces of fruit or veggies in
with the salad to make it look more enticing. LOL
Just keep offering it & he should eventually warm up to & start eating it. They are pretty finicky!

How old is Norman ?
What's his body weight ?
Their dietary needs is very strongly determined by their age and to a lesser degree their body weight.

I've tried that lol I'll wait and see if he decides to actually eat some
He'll eat salad if you with hold live food, but its surprising how long they'll hold out for slme juicy bugs.
A sneaky trick which works for a stubborn, hungry dragon is to put some morios in a clear lidded tub, let dragon investigate and start trying to eat them, then drop salad or more healthy livefood on the lid of the tub to be gobbled up instead. I reward with a morio at the end. Cause they earned it.
A less cruel way is to drop calci worms or all roaches in a bowl with lots of salad. Some usually gets eaten.
