Why I like to make and eat salad

As I made a salad for dinner tonight, it gave me a little time to think about why I like to do it, so I figure I'll explain myself.

• I get to cut vegetables with sharp knives. I enjoy every opportunity I get to use my knives, and veggies are by far the most fun stuff to cut.
• I hate lettuce, and I get to make salads with far tastier greens. Lettuce is the Great Satan.
• Arugula arugula arugula arugula arugula.
• Heirloom tomatoes are awesome.
• It's another excuse to use garum, as if I needed one.
• I can just toss a mound of random crap on a plate and it's pretty even when slapdash.
• I'm very lazy. When I'm done, I have a bowl and a fork to clean. That's it.
• One more time, arugula.
