How to make salad in Grow a Garden

How do you make salad in Grow a Garden? While far from the tastiest meal you can make from your home-grown produce, it's one of the most cost-effective when it comes to farming rewards from the Grow a Garden cooking event. Learn how to make a salad, the rewards you can expect, and whether or not it's worth using Prismatic crops to make fancy Prismatic Salads as well.

Grow a Garden salads are suddenly a big deal. Having dropped with the first Grow a Garden update of August, the cooking feature brought new Grow a Garden seeds and Grow a Garden pets, too. Get the most out of the latest weekly event by checking out which of those new additions can help you spice up the meals you hand over to Chris. P, while his traveling kitchen is still around.

Luckily, making a Grow a Garden salad only requires some very basic ingredients. You don't need to overcomplicate things with exotic veggies, either.

Just toss a Tomato and Corn into the cooking pot, slap the Cook button, and wait around 17 minutes. The result will be a basic salad you can turn in for some easily repeatable rewards.

Save them for when Chris P. craves a salad to boost your potential rewards. It's rare, but the big piggy can crave the greens from time to time.

The Tomato is also the best base for a Prismatic Salad. In fact, it's the best base for Mythical and Divine salad, too.

Toss in at least three Prismatic crops of any type with a Tomato to get a Prismatic Salad. Pairing a single Prismatic crop with a tomato will get you a Mythical Salad instead.

Here are some other Grow a Garden salad recipes:

Is the Prismatic Salad worth it?

Handing in a Prismatic Salad doesn't guarantee better Grow a Garden kitchen rewards from Chris. P. It will increase the chances, but only by so much. This goes for any type of salad. Only the rarity affects the rewards.

The Grow a Garden Discord is rife with reports from disgruntled growers complaining about getting simple sprinklers with Divine Salads. So if you're not already swimming in Prismatic crops, it's probably not worth making Prismatic Salads for the Grow a Garden cooking event.
