Don’t make that face–this stuff is mostly cucumbers and tomatoes, relaxing in a bath of olive oil. If you’re looking for an aggressively lazy way to be healthy–this is it. (You’re welcome.) There are basically two steps: chop stuff up and put it in your mouth. Cooking is tedious. Don’t waste your precious time. Sautéing an onion is a thing of the past. Eat it raw. Beefsteak tomatoes will only make you stronger.
