Why is it not always possible to make a tasty salad, even though you have not changed the recipe? What is the reason for the different consistency and flavor of the same salad? Often many blame the expiration date of the ingredients that make up the salad. However, it’s not always the freshness of the produce that plays a role. Certain aspects of the salad preparation may have been compromised.
First, the salad should be cut in the same way. That is, all the produce is diced the same way. If a grater is used in the recipe, use one section.
Second, hot and chilled foods should not be used together. Wait until these products become the same temperature.
