Always a knife and plate. You won’t find me making cakes or cookies in my Bosch either, I mix by hand or with a whisk. Must be dishwashingphobia.

This. Good knife and a disposable plate. Very Happy

Cutting salad on a plate ruins your plate in the long run.

It depends on the type of salad I'm making.

I love my combination mandoline / dicer. If you run it under cold water as soon as you're done using it, it cleans up pretty quickly. Just watch your fingers! Surprised

Just a knife. I have dark black granite counter tops. I always clean them with a disinfectant and lots of water. Dry with a small handheld squeegee. And use my counter as my chopping board. Right next to the sink. Most convenient thing ever!!!

I was cutting up a salad for supper yesterday using my trusty knife and cutting board . the whole time I was thinking about how much my hand hurts and how I should take down my vegetable chopper but I was too lazy Smile! So I suffered all the way through rachmana litzlan. was wondering if I'm the only one?


Depends. On the type of veggies I'm slicing and the volume. Is this a salad for me or for 20 guests? For smaller salads I will use a knife, maybe a mandolin if I want finely sliced. I wouldn't schlep out the food processor unless I was making a very large volume, or maybe if I had several veggies I wanted shredded rather than sliced. Sometimes I'll use the processor to shred a large volume of raw carrots, radishes and beets and store each in containers to add to salad over several days.

Just a knife. I cut the veggies in my hands. I don’t want to wash the cutting board!! I’m allergic to dishes

If you have a good knife, cutting is easy. Otherwise it's a literal pain. It doesn't have to be expensive, but needs to be the right one. I love the inexpensive medium sized knives I got from Center of Town Lakewood.

Knife and cutting board. I eat so many fruits and veggies my cutting board is a permanent fixture on my counter.
