Players of Disney Dreamlight Valley will quickly find that their in-game energy level is not enough to get through the day. After breaking rocks, digging up special spots, and planting crops, players will need to restore some of that energy. One of the fastest ways to go from exhaustion to a full-energy bar is through cooking the numerous meals in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
These meals, while worth a good amount of Star Coins, are usually able to restore energy much faster than simple ingredients. This is especially true for the game's Tasty Salad, a four-star recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley. For those players looking to cook this recipe, this guide is here to help.
How to Cook Tasty Salad in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There are plenty of energy-rich options in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but players need to use the right combination in order to create the Tasty Salad, a four-star entree. There are four ingredients that players need to track down in order to take their salad to the next level:
- Lettuce
- Any Vegetable
- Any Spice
- Cucumber
Once complete, the Tasty Salad can be sold for a minimum of 292 Star Coins or replenish a minimum of 650 energy, a step up from the Hearty Salad in Disney Dreamlight Valley. These numbers can increase depending on the number and quality of ingredients used.
Where to Find the Ingredients for a Tasty Salad
The first of the specific ingredients in the recipe for a Tasty Salad, Lettuce, is relatively easy to acquire. In the Peaceful Meadow, players that harvest the rocks, vines, and other items may find themselves granted free Lettuce seeds. More consistently, though, players that unlock Goofy's stall through the Fishing Expedition quest will find seeds there. Those that choose to upgrade it will be able to purchase lettuce outright as well.
The second and third slots have some flexibility. Any vegetable in Disney Dreamlight Valley can be used in the second slot, including a second head of Lettuce. Any spice can be used in the third slot, meaning that the Basil that grows throughout the Peaceful Meadow and Oregano that can be found around the plaza are two examples that would work. Because of their location, these are relatively easy to grab.
Cucumbers are much harder to track down because they are only found in the Frosted Heights biome. This is in the Northeastern section of the game world, and there are a pair of Dreamlight walls between the plaza and this area.
Players first need to purchase the Forest of Valor for 3,000 Dreamlight, then the Frosted Heights for a further 10,000 Dreamlight. Players can purchase Cucumber seeds and Cucumbers outright from Goofy's stand once it is purchased and upgraded, respectively.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
