OH MY GOSH... I seriously can't believe how expensive my Thai Salad with Shrimp was. SERIOUSLY... I went back and redid your math about six times because I was SO shocked. OK, it's an amazing salad, and really, since it is a FOUR person salad, I'm OK with spending 3.05 on myself on a really yummy salad, but still, compared to what we spend on so many other meals it's just super super shocking to learn that a "salad", which I normally think of as a simple cheap dinner solution, is the MOST EXPENSIVE MEAL OF THE WEEK. WOW. Good thing my whole family loves veggies!
ReplyDeleteKim, I too, had to go back and do the math. What made the salad so "expensive" was the red peppers. Other than growing peppers in my garden, ive never found red peppers inexpensive. They are so good and loaded with so much vitamin C. Hey Kim, this salad in a resturaunt would absolutely be in the $12-$17 range.
