How do YOU prepare salad?

[AcceptableGeek]

I'm just curious as to how others on the forum do salad.

-What all veggies do you use?
-Do you just tear up the leafy greens and mix?
-Anyone using a food processor/chopper?
-What do you store it in to stay fresh?

Any input is appreciated!!

I've been trying out something similar to Chop that parrot owners make. Last night's batch I buzzed in the food processor to save some time, but forgot to take pictures to update my thread. I pop it in the freezer in silicon trays and then bag those for later use.

This batch has:
Black berries
Mango
Sugar snap peas
Broccoli
Butternut squash
Summer squash
Red pepper
Supervegi + bee pollen + probiotics

That's great. Wht food bowl are you using? Mine likes to scatter food everywhere so maybe a better bowl would help keep that down

I just use a plate - it ends up scattered everywhere but the cleaner crew has it taken care of by the next morning, two birds for me there.
I've found the scattering is usually when he is tromping through, so if you have a lower traffic area of the enclosure maybe he could keep it tidier?

my mix normally includes collards chard red pepper other greens (endive kale etc) along with blueberry and cantaloupe. how i store it is in plastic containers but for my greens i have some that have an air hole at the top

Thanks for posting this. I've been doing like three kinds of greens and I've tried adding shredded winter squash but he has no interest. I didn't think about blueberries or cantaloupe.
