Crunch crunch moistness mmm.

I think the thing which ruines salads for me previously is how frequently raw onions and tomatoes get added to them. Now that I took salads without those, turns out I like them. Also, all of the salads I liked had a grain addition (grain eater, please, no, not my salads!) which I think adds a lot. Salads are very nice: as long as they’re more than just tomatoes, bitter leaves and raw onion slices - this is an abomination, idk why so many places sell this.

I’d formulate the ideal salad something like this:

  • green leaves (avoid too bitter ones) for green and crunch
  • sauce to moisturize it
  • a grain (the grains I had were white ones which don’t look or taste like rice - they were moist on their own and very pleasant to add)
  • non-veg addition: e.g. falafel balls, nuts (e.g. walnuts), tiny toast cubes (“croutons”), tiny cheese cubes

Most has to be veg, but the addition of else is mandatory, especially the grain. Texture is such an important part of eating.

Enjoy your salads. :3

    I’m so happy you liked it! Grapefruit really are amazing!

    That is a bit of a steep price though, the ones around me are usually around 1USD, which is something I bite the bullet on because they are an invaluable part of my diet and they are extremely healthy.

    Sadly I cannot think of another citrus that can be peeled like that other then lemons, which ironically I do eat like grapefruit, but only because I have a tree in my yard and the lemons are incredibly sweet and not bitter because I let them fully ripen.

    If I think of anything I’ll message you!
