A Salad is one of the dishes you can make in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. The best time to cook this dish would be in the Spring when you can grow some of the ingredients you need right on your farm.

Where To Learn the Recipe

Cooking inspiration is something that happens automatically as you make dishes with different ingredients. Once you’ve cooked with an ingredient a certain number of times, you can unlock a new recipe that uses the same item!

The farmer gets inspired to cook Salad while in the kitchen.

To learn the recipe for Salad, you need to cook with the following ingredients:

Ingredients	Number of dishes you need to cook
Cucumber	20 dishes
Cabbage
Tomato
Carrot

The quality of the ingredients you use can reduce the number of times you need to cook with that item. You can check the quality by looking at how many stars the ingredient has.

Interface of the fridge with the ingredient quality indicated.

For each additional star that an ingredient has, the number of times you need to cook with it decreases by a factor of 1.

If a recipe states that you have to cook with Cucumber 20 times to unlock it, you can make any dish with 1-star Cucumbers 20 times. But if you have 2-star Cucumbers, you only need to cook with them 10 times. Likewise, 5-star Cucumbers will unlock the recipe after only 4 uses.

Requirements

The farmer harvests Cucumbers and Cabbages from a field in the Spring.

Equipment Needed

The equipment needed to make Salad can be bought from Jeff at the General Store.

The downside is that Jeff sells his kitchen equipment one by one, in 10-day intervals after you buy the first of Gotts’ house remodeling upgrades.

This means that you can only access the next piece of equipment 10 days after the previous one becomes available for purchase.

How To Sell Salads

Any dishes made in your kitchen can’t be shipped through Zack and the Shipping Bin. However, you can start selling food to Huang once you become friends with him at 4 friendship notes.

To sell a dish to Huang, stand in front of his counter while holding the item. Don’t interact directly with his sprite, as it will register as a gift instead.

The farmer stands in front of Huang’s counter while holding Salad.

Huang will then offer you a price, which you can actually reject for a chance at getting him to bid higher.

The price range for Salad is anywhere between 80 G and 170 G. If Huang offers you 110 G for the item, for example, you can turn him down and try again to get a higher price.
