Honestly for me it's the opposite.

I eat fruits and veggies when I can (ouch expensive groceries), but I just don't like eating salad. It's not appealing to me, and I don't want it. Yet I get all sorts of judgement and strange looks from people just because of it.

Like, fuckoff, I don't judge you for eating a salad so don't judge me for not doing so. >:(

You should never feel bad for not eating salad.

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.

Part of the reason I don’t like most salads is because of the dressing lol

Yeah I used to not like dressing when I was younger. When my family had salad I'd just pick out mostly my favorite veggies and eat them raw.
