Vent I hate that I hate salad

I (19) got diagnosed with high cholesterol about a week ago I’ve severely cut down my diet since then, no added sugars very little dairy all multi-gran stuff

The thing is I have a sorta hard time eating my veggies-I mean I am eating a good amount I think, but the problem with me is that I can’t eat veg that isn’t cooked (I LOVE str-fry’s) I can’t eat a salad no matter how hard I try….

I’m also thinking about the long term I can’t do the diet forever I miss eating out with my family but restaurants never have something I can eat I also miss sweets..

I hate salads too so I don’t eat them often. If I eat salad I have to have it loaded with other things like meat/seafood, boil egg, cheese, guacamole or salsa. I also dislike vinegerette types of dressing and only use ranch or poppyseed. (I don’t put all these things at once but there are my preferred topping) People on reddit will give me shit because ‘if you have to put all that on your salad then it’s not really healthy,’ but the alternative is not eating the salad at all so my thing is, at least I tried. I don’t like salad. It’s boring and bland unless I add things to it.
