Steps
- 1Cut vegetables into bite-size pieces so every forkful makes sense.
- 2Season the sturdy ingredients first so they do not taste flat.
- 3Whisk oil, acid, salt, and any spice into a simple dressing.
- 4Toss just before serving, then add delicate herbs or crunchy toppings last.
- 5Taste again for salt and acid before calling it done.
Grit & Soul tip
Salad should not mean plain. Salt the vegetables, add acid, and give it crunch.

Grit & Soul keeps the cooking directions easy to reach first. The story still matters, but it should never make someone scroll forever before they can cook.
