    It’s got all the elements of a proper salad

    1. Sad iceberg lettuce
    2. Small diced white onions
    3. Pickle chips
    4. Brown goop
    5. Red

    Seems about right to me.

          I think those are diced tomatoes, but jokes aside, adding some color other than white or green actually IS quite a good (and therefore common) way to make it look more appealing.

          Vinaigrette doesn’t HAVE to brown but I suppose with balsamic being the only version that’s really known in the States, over here it generally is.

            Where do you live in the States? Because we’ve got red wine vinaigrette, strawberry vinaigrette, raspberry vinaigrette, and cider vinaigrette at some of the different restaurants around here.

            Not at Waffle House though. I thought they only had ranch and Caesar. Maybe light ranch at the fancy ones.

              Well in that case, two out of those for are definitely not brown but more reddish in color, and the cider one is probably pale yellowish I would guess. But there’s also such as thing as white vinaigrette, which can be made either with white balsamico or champagne if it’s fancy, or just regular white vinegar if it’s cheap. I’ve rarely seen those in any restaurant, however, but to be fair I don’t really eat out all that much. Don’t think they come prepackaged as often as those other types do.

                I may have just misread you. I thought you meant that balsamic was the only vinaigrette we knew about here haha.

                And while I’ll joke about this abomination, I’m like 90% sure someone else nailed it when they said it was steak sauce.

                  I honestly forgot that the fruity stuff even existed because like I said, I don’t eat out much. And when I do, I tend to avoid restaurants that would have it, because more often enough it’s just a cheap gimmick for the ladies (and probably factory made, loaded with corn syrup and sweeter than candy).

                  Basically, I have so little respect for these two variations that I refuse to acknowledge their mere existence and would not even think about ordering them unless they’re guaranteed to be fresh and homemade.

    This is funny, but also fake - unless this person was truly pissing off the cooks! Their actual salads come in little wooden bowls and look like salads. You can image search it. They give you packets of dressing and everything. I’ve never ordered one, but eaten with friends who had dietary restrictions. They never got a plate this hateful, lol.

      I took your advice and found some pictures of actual customer reviews, and it appears that you are indeed correct. While they might not all be the most glorious examples of salad craft in the world, they definitely look edible and miles better than what the Facebook OP would have us believe.

      Please enjoy my selection:

        But they’re not called Salad Hut! How can they possibly make good looking salads?

          I’d say average to decent looking salads. But the answer is, because Facebook OP apparently is either a bundle of sticks as usual, or perhaps, as others have suggested, did something to seriously piss off the cook.

          Or maybe they tried ordering it during the post bar closing time drunk rush and this is all they had left in the fridge.

    If it’s any consolation, the Salad House offers some pretty crappy waffles.

      Well, you wouldn’t go to Red Lobster just for their burger, although it does in fact look a lot more appetizing than this thing.

      I’m assuming that’s supposed to be the dressing, but it looks suspiciously like BBQ sauce if you ask me.

              I’m gonna confidently say no to that because according to my research, it’s a Canadian brand and I’ve never heard of it or seen it before.

                  From what I hear about both of these places, that seems very appropriate for someone with your username.

    I didn’t even know they had a salad. And if I’m being honest, I’m petty surprised anyone would actually order it…

      Waffle House has a bigger menu than most people realize, you just have to actually request a full menu. It’s actually on the fine print on the menus.

      I only know this because I worked absolutely awful shifts and the only place open when I got off was either Waffle House or another diner, so I spent way too much time with coworkers at both.

      Pretty sure almost ANY restaurant will have a salad somewhere, even if they’re 100% carnivore focused otherwise, because there’s always that odd vegetarian that shows up out of nowhere and refuses to eat anything else.

      Same goes for burgers, apparently. Even Red Lobster and Olive Garden have one on the menu, presumably for those awkward family dinners involving grumpy teenagers who didn’t want to be there in the first place.

      I would hope for that kind of money they’d put a little more effort into the presentation.
