Don’t Eat Lettuce
Now, this may seem counterintuitive when putting together a meal that hypothetically resembles a salad, but at Forager’s, it’s best to skip the lettuce altogether. Why? Because the romaine they use is outrageously heavy. It just feels really mean and intentional. Curiously, there’s no lighter “mixed greens” or “mesclun” alternative. If you’re gonna weigh down your box (which, you know, you’ll have to do at some point), don’t waste your capital on middling romaine. Remember, every leaf is costing you pennies. Pennies!
