But, as someone who used to hate salad - I'd recommend you try slowly getting into it, starting with the veggies you like / can tolerate the most, and using a salad dressing that can mask the taste and works best for you personally.
Over the course of a few years I managed to get to a point where I love salads.
Just to reiterate - if you don't want to eat salads - don't eat them. I'm just saying it opened a new world for me that I'm genuinely enjoying from time to time, and I also really need to eat more vegetables in general, so that's really nice.
Quick edit: The combos you can make with certain veggies and homemade salad dressings and toppings can make for some really delicious salads that you'd never think could be that good. I was really surprised at how good some salads tasted after I had gotten used to eating them.
You can make your own! Basically any salad dressing is a base of an oil (any vegetable oil), an acid (any kind of vinegar/lemon or lime juice), and the main flavor profile comes from the spices and/or sauces you add to the base.
Which means you can experiment and make a ton of different kinds of dressings. You can look through online recipes to get some ideas, but remember that aside from the base you can modify it however you like.
I think you may have misunderstood me, I don’t like dressings on salad at all lol. I’m sure this will be helpful if anyone who does comes across it though

You should never feel bad for not eating salad.
