To make a salad in the game Grow a Garden, you use specific garden-grown ingredients and the Cooking Pot located in the middle of the island. The ingredients vary by the salad rarity:
- Common Salad: 3 carrots and 1 bamboo.
- Uncommon Salad: 1 orange tulip, 1 bamboo, 1 carrot, and 1 tomato.
- Rare Salad: 1 corn and 1 tomato, or other variations including dragon fruit, peach, jalapeño.
- Legendary Salad: 1 ember lily, 1 dragon fruit, 1 bamboo, and 1 tomato.
- Mythical Salad: 2 sugar apples and 1 tomato.
- Divine Salad: 4 sugar apples and 1 tomato.
- Prismatic Salad: 4 bone blossoms and 1 tomato.
To make the salad, equip the ingredients, add them to the Cooking Pot by interacting with it, and press Cook to create the salad. You can remove ingredients before cooking by pressing the Empty button. The completed salad can then be used in the game for rewards and events related to cooking.
If you want to make a fresh garden salad from real garden ingredients, you would combine fresh vegetables like romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, grated carrot, red onion, and parsley. Toss these in a bowl and dress with a vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Toss and serve immediately or store separately if not serving right away.
So, in Grow a Garden, making salad is about collecting and combining the right in-game ingredients at the Cooking Pot, while in real life, it's about fresh garden vegetables and a simple dressing.
