>I've found the greens just wilt and everything else loses crispness if I prepare and leave in the fridge

The best thing you can do for your greens is to wash them, put them in a good quality salad spinner and then put them in a plastic bag with a damp, but not overly wet, paper towel. You will be astonished by how long these will last in your fridge. I like to use quart and gallon zip lock bags, but cheap plastic produce bags will work too. I also recommend you be gentle with the greens and tear them instead of cutting them to elongate their lives.

Not kidding here: you can use a mechanical salad spinner thing as a replacement for a plate centrifuge. Just attach two plastic plate holders to the interior of the spinner, and pump away! Here's a link to one such device: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00004OCKR?pc_redir=1406791790&robot_redir=1

I have a friend who says "I want to eat healthy but I just don't like how healthy food tastes." I imagine you'd agree. While it's not the healthiest opinion to hold, it's completely understandable. It's honest. But I think this opinion comes from a lack of experience. I have reason to believe you too lack the experience of eating vegetables that are delicious and diverse. I believe this because when you talk about your experience with vegetables you cite watery lettuce and subway lettuce as your main examples. In the general scheme of great food, watery lettuce hearts and subway lettuce aren't very good and it's completely okay to not like these things.

I think for someone who doesn't eat healthy food at home, it's hard to come by it elsewhere unless you're an adventurous eater. If you go out to eat and you want vegetables, most restaurants won't have vegetable entrees. You'll either get your veggies on a sandwich (like at Subway), in a salad, or as some generic, choose-two-from-the-list side order (like steamed broccoli). At least this is the case where I live, in the South-eastern US. And all these things, while good when they are good, can get boring quickly. The lack of variety is a problem.

My advice to you would be to try and experience vegetable dishes of different cultures. Build your experience with vegetables. Tasty vegetables are out there. The trick is to find places that don't treat vegetables as an afterthought. Indian restaurants, for example, provide plentiful and diverse main dishes consisting of mostly vegetables. Chinese food does this as well. This doesn't mean you have to give up meat to be healthy. But I think that once you find delicious new ways to eat veggies, you won't feel like eating them is a burden or chore. You'll want to eat them.

That's the trick: to get to the point where you want to eat vegetables. Forcing yourself to eat healthy food you don't like isn't a sustainable lifestyle choice. If you have a choice between only healthy food you hate, and delicious food that's bad for you, of course you'll keep relapsing back to the unhealthy food. But there's a third choice: healthy food you love. And you can still have the unhealthy food too; once again, it's balance and moderation.

So, in addition to getting out and finding vegetables you like. There are some other things you can do. Like making boring healthy things taste better. For instance, try making a bunch of different salad dressings. Forgive the snobbery, but store bought is pretty rubbish unless you shell out for it. And put all kinds of shit on your salads. I made a salad for my brother-in-law and he was amazed at how good it was. All I did was put a bunch of different stuff on it that didn't suck. A salad doesn't have to be punishment. It doesn't have to be watery lettuce with kraft ranch.

Also, I really recommend learning to cook. I know sometimes, especially in college, it isn't practical. When I was 20 I had a roommate situation that led to the kitchen reaching biohazard levels a couple times. No one wants to cook in that. But if you're lucky to have a good living situation, it's really the best. And if you're kitchen situation isn't ideal, it's worth it to be the asshole enforcer of cleanliness among your roommates. But as far as the food goes, get your inspiration from /r/food, /r/cooking, /r/askcullinary, /r/asianeats, or even Pinterest or Allrecipes.com. If it looks appetizing, learn to cook it. And don't stop until you have an arsenal of healthy dishes you love to eat. They exist. I promise. You just have to find them.

EDIT: Solve the watery lettuce problem with a salad spinner. For real, I spin all the vegetables that go into a salad. Watery salad is unappetizing. This thing has like 650 reviews and it's absolutely worth it. It's all about taking the steps necessary to make healthy food taste good. For me, this is one of those steps.

Caesar Salad is super easy to do.

  1. Get yourself a salad spinner.
  2. Cut the romaine into even slices and soak in cold water. This will not only wash, but also add some crisp to your greens.
  3. Spin the lettuce, draining at least twice. If time permits, place the spinner in your fridge for a couple hours, or even overnight, for additional drying. You don't want to water down your dressing.
  4. Using a whisk and a large serving bowel, beat some egg yolks until they start to thicken. Use more or less yolks, per your preferences, but my rule of thumb is one to two yolks per person being served, depending on the size of the eggs. Use freshest eggs possible.
  5. Eyeball/add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, per egg yolk, then continue whisking vigorously while slowly adding Extra Virgin Olive Oil. You're making mayo!
  6. Once your dressing reaches a good consistency, you add the remaining ingredients: minced garlic, cracked black pepper, a dash of lemon juice and anchovies to taste. Smash up the anchovies with the whisk and mix everything up.
  7. Add lettuce to the same bowl and toss. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano and croutons on top and serve.

    I intentionally did not include specific measurements. After you make this recipe a dozen or so times, you'll dial in what works for you. Some people like a good garlic kick. Some people like a little extra acidity from the lemon. Some like a super fishy/salty dressing. Make it your way.
