The Grow A Garden cooking event has long since passed, and as such, it’s actually quite difficult to work out what the proper recipe is to make a salad. That is because some unexplained mechanics may be the cause of your culinary endeavors going awry. If you’ve come across recipes recently to make salads and not had any success, then fear not, as we’ll explain what’s going on here.
Of course, to make these salads, you’re going to need to cultivate specific Grow A Garden seeds and harvest their fruit. These food items, as explained in our Grow A Garden Beginner’s Guide, are handy for leveling up your friendship with the shopkeepers, getting exclusive items in return. You’ll want to exploit Grow A Garden mutations to get the most friendship points possible from your creations. Below is everything you need to know about getting a cooking pot and making a salad in Grow A Garden.
How to get a cooking pot in Grow A Garden
There are two ways to get a cooking pot in Grow A Garden. The easiest way is to save up 1,000,000 Sheckles and buy it from the Cosmetics shop when available. However, there’s a far cheaper way to get this item by completing all the Common Achievements track in the guidebook. This requires you to complete five tasks:
- Shovel 100 plants
- Harvest 200 carrots
- Gift 1 carrot
- Sell 500 strawberries
- Gift 5 strawberries
None of these are difficult to finish, as the gifting tasks need you to hold the item and interact with a player to gift the plant to them. As for the shoveling plants, just buy 100 carrots as they’re the cheapest plant. Selling 500 strawberries might take a while, but it’s easily doable if you have a bunch of plants growing this common fruit at once.
Grow A Garden salad recipes
A lot of changes have happened since the cooking-based Grow A Garden event a few months ago, and this includes many of the old recipes from those weeks no longer working. Instead, the salad recipe comprises a handful of components that you need to fill with each fruit. Those components can’t be the same for both sides, so two tomatoes will not make a salad; they instead make a smoothie. The recipe that worked for us was taking a Bamboo and a Pepper and putting them in the cooking pot to make a salad.
The other thing is that, once you discover the recipe, it’ll appear in your in-game guidebook. However, the ingredients it lists will be ones you’ve got in your garden or have grown in the past. That means that there are likely plenty more out there not on this list. The recipes in the book are also guidelines rather than actual recipes, as combining Bamboo and Corn also makes a Smoothie in our time of testing. This is possibly because Corn counts as a fruit. Our suggestion is to add the components in the order displayed (Leafy, then Vegetable).
