Salad Study

Ok, I'm sorry. This is not a business idea. It's a research one.

I would like to know how many calories are in those salads one makes from Mixt Greens or equivalent chain. You know the ones - where they make a salad in a large mixing bowl, the way you would make a salad for a party of 4-6 people and then pack it into one of those giant plastic containers (after squirting a ginormous amount of dressing on it). Totally delisc if you make your own, but my hunch is their calorie estimates on their website are totally off (mostly because their serving size for dressing is just way too small). I'd love to do a study where you buy a handful of salads in a random fashion and send them off for nutritional analysis and then compare the values to the published estimates.

No money in this of course. Except it might not be great for business for Mixt Greens and co.
