A collection of ingredients gathered together for preparing the salad course.

Verification: Human verified

Salad Ingredients are the components you gather and prepare during the salad course of the cooking challenge in Escape Academy's "Escape From The Past" DLC. You must collect the correct ingredients, chop them in the proper order, add dressing, and send the finished salad out. Getting the order wrong results in a failed dish, so follow the recipe board carefully.

How to Complete

The salad station requires you to find the ingredients scattered around the kitchen, then process them in a specific sequence. According to the recipe shown on the board, the order is: lettuce first, apples second, celery third, and walnuts last [src-7fcadcc2ae][src-c75e8e23eb]. Once the solid ingredients are chopped in order, you add the dressing and send the salad out [src-c75e8e23eb].

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Locate the salad ingredients. Search the kitchen for the collection of salad components. One player notes grabbing "the salad ingredients" as a distinct pickup during the cooking sequence [src-7fcadcc2ae].
2. Check the recipe board. The board displays the recipe with numbered positions showing which ingredient goes in which order [src-7fcadcc2ae]. Use this as your reference before chopping anything.
3. Chop lettuce first. Lettuce is confirmed as the first ingredient in the sequence [src-7fcadcc2ae][src-c75e8e23eb].
4. Chop apples second. Apples are the second ingredient [src-7fcadcc2ae][src-c75e8e23eb].
5. Chop celery third. Celery comes third in the order [src-7fcadcc2ae][src-c75e8e23eb].
6. Chop walnuts last. Walnuts are the final solid ingredient [src-7fcadcc2ae][src-c75e8e23eb].
7. Add the dressing. After the ingredients are chopped in order, add the dressing to the salad [src-c75e8e23eb]. One playthrough failed because the dressing was not added first in their attempt — but the confirmed correct method is to add dressing after chopping [src-7fcadcc2ae][src-c75e8e23eb].
8. Send the salad out. Place the finished salad on the train/order system to deliver it [src-c75e8e23eb]. A correctly made salad is described as "delicious" and "bursting with freshness" [src-7fcadcc2ae].

Common Mistakes

• Wrong chopping order. A failed attempt produced "taste trash" because the ingredients were not chopped in the recipe's sequence [src-7fcadcc2ae]. Always verify the numbered order on the board.
• Forgetting the dressing. Skipping the dressing step causes the salad to be rejected [src-c75e8e23eb].
• Not checking settings. One player discovered they needed to change a setting on the machine before the order would register correctly [src-7fcadcc2ae].

Tips

• Read the recipe board before touching any ingredients — it shows numbered positions for each component [src-7fcadcc2ae].
• The salad course is part of a larger multi-course cooking challenge; completing it correctly advances you to the next order [src-7fcadcc2ae].
• If your salad is rejected, re-check both the chopping order and whether dressing was added [src-c75e8e23eb].

Rewards

A correctly prepared salad is accepted as the "delicious salad" order, satisfying the customer and progressing the cooking challenge [src-7fcadcc2ae]. Completing the salad course is one step toward finishing the full menu sequence in the Yes Chef section of the DLC.
