The Grow A Garden cooking event is over, and it’s proving tricky to figure out the correct salad recipe. Some unusual issues seem to be causing problems when people try to make salads. If you’ve tried recent recipes and haven’t had any luck, don’t worry – we’ll explain what’s happening.
To make salads in Grow A Garden, you’ll need to plant and harvest specific seeds, as detailed in our Beginner’s Guide. These salads are useful for building friendships with shopkeepers and unlocking special items. Using mutated seeds will help you maximize your friendship points. Here’s everything you need to know about getting a cooking pot and making salads in the game.

How to get a cooking pot in Grow A Garden
In Grow A Garden, you can get a cooking pot in one of two ways. The simplest is to save up 1,000,000 Sheckles and purchase it from the Cosmetics shop when it’s available. But a much more affordable option is to complete all the tasks in the Common Achievements track of the guidebook. This involves finishing five different objectives.
- Shovel 100 plants
- Harvest 200 carrots
- Gift 1 carrot
- Sell 500 strawberries
- Gift 5 strawberries
These tasks aren’t very challenging. Gifting plants just requires you to have the item and give it to another player. For the shoveling task, simply purchase 100 carrots, as they are the most affordable plant. Selling 500 strawberries will take some time, but it’s manageable if you’re growing a lot of them.

Grow A Garden salad recipes
Things have changed quite a bit since the Grow A Garden cooking event a few months ago, and many of the original recipes don’t work anymore. The new salad recipe is different – it’s built from individual fruit components. You need to use a variety of fruits, as using the same fruit on both sides won’t create a salad – it’ll make a smoothie instead. We found that using Bamboo and Pepper together in the cooking pot successfully made a salad.
Once you learn a recipe, it’s saved in your in-game guidebook. The guidebook will only show ingredients you’ve already grown, so there are likely many more recipes to discover. Keep in mind that the guidebook recipes are more like suggestions than strict instructions—for example, we found that combining Bamboo and Corn makes a Smoothie. This might be because the game considers Corn a fruit. We recommend adding ingredients in the order they’re shown: first Leafy greens, then Vegetables.
Here are all the Grow A Garden salad ingredients we know of so far:
