Bok choy cooked with minced garlic, cooking sake, and oyster sauce is delicious.

I'm recently buying much more frozen veg since they're cheaper and I'm really pleasantly surprised by the quality and the options that are available. If prepped correctly, frozen kale will have the same texture and taste as the fresh thing imo!

Spinach and Arugula. Love that combo. Love it raw with lemon and olive oil, love it tossed in pasta or topping a pizza. Love it.

If you have access to an Asian market look for boy choy, choy sum, you choy, etc there. Best prices around. I heard a rumour Asian grocers use veg as a list leader but I can’t confirm that.

Celery or fennel sliced with mandolin makes amazing salad green crunch

[nuklearrik]

Frozen spinach (cheaper than fresh) + rice cauliflower in soups!!

Mine is buying frozen veg. It’s much cheaper and throwing it in soups, casseroles etc is amazing.

[stephaniegarcia]

Brussels sprouts roasted with a bit of olive oil and gochujang seasoning and then drizzle with a bit of balsamic vinaigrette 🤤

[vickym]

Luckily lettuce should be getting less expensive soon. There was a disease in California that damaged the lettuce harvest. But more lettuce should start coming out of Arizona soon and AFAIK the harvest will be better.

Frozen spinach is an amazing cheap way of have spinach for smoothies or soups.

.. I hardly ever eat lettuce. I always go for the cheaper frozen vegetables. But if I do have a salad it's with all the fixins! Good ranch, good ceasar, cheese, boiled egg, some type of meat, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, maybe some feta if I have it. Usually I just microwave a bag of frozen peas and carrots, and add a little butter and salt. It's as addicting as popcorn and I usually end up craving it. Broccoli and aspargus are delicious roasted, carrots sautéed slowly in some oil so they caramelize. I love vegetables!

Even with the economy the way it is, I'm so glad that English food prices are so low. An iceberg lettuce is about £0.50 here, I can't imagine paying nearly $5 for a head of lettuce that is 80% water!

[amandajoseph]

Turnip/mustard/collards/chard for the win!

And people forget cheap soft herbs are still greens. I buy cilantro and parsley all the time and add them to my salads.

Finally if you buy veggies with the leaves still on save them and uae them as herbs or in salads.Beets and carrot tops are delicious

[nuklearrik]

Also raw broccoli, egg and mustard salad with olive oil (I'm Spanish) and vinegar dressing

[kelsie_adams]

Collard greens minus the tough stem double as a tortilla. I usually buy a bunch of spinach and use it in place of lettuce on sandwiches and as a base for dinner (it adds veggies to your plate). Add radish greens & carrot greens to salads.

[maidofthemisty]

Parsley, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese. Chop all the ingredients in a medium cut, try to make uniform. Toss everything together with olive oil, apple cider vinegar or squeezed lemon, dried oregano (or fresh) little bit of salt and pepper. Parsley is a cheap alternative to lettuce and your getting more out of it.

[dianaadamo]

Oh my god I recognize that Loblaws!! It's the nicest one in Toronto for sure

[blondieb]

I do love broccoli. I have always been a broccoli floret lover, not as much of a fan of the stems. My sister was the opposite, the stems were her favorite. We all have our preferences that’s for sure.

[cynthiaromero]

I love bok choy and arugula with goat cheese and beets. 😋

[starlit]
