A discussion of how to navigate the salad bar at your local deli. New York City salad bars stressed me out and in order to navigate this I did a ton of research, talked with my co-workers, and made numerous lists. This methodology is repeatable for other simple life problems, too!

For all of my previous salad research and suggestions on what to put in your salad, you can check out this blog post on the Chrystina Noel Blog: How to Navigate the Salad Bar.
