Recipe Details

Ingredients

Burn Specialty Requirement

This recipe requires a Pokemon with the Burn specialty to be nearby while cooking. The Burn specialty is needed to toast the bread into croutons. Pokemon with the Burn specialty include fire-types like Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard. A Burn-specialty Pokemon must be near the cooking station.

Flavor Profile and Pokemon Preferences

Crouton Salad has a spicy flavor. Pokemon that prefer spicy flavors will get a larger Comfort Level boost from Crouton Salad. Spicy is a popular flavor preference among energetic and bold Pokemon. Gifting food that matches a Pokemon's preferred flavor increases their Comfort Level significantly more than giving them a non-preferred flavor.

Where to Find Ingredients

You need any pre-made bread (Simple Bread, Leppa Bread, etc.) as an ingredient. This means Crouton Salad is a two-step recipe: first bake bread at an Oven, then use that bread in the salad at a Cutting Board. Leaves are available everywhere by cutting Tall Grass. Most ingredients can be grown on your farm or picked up from the ground while exploring.

How to Cook

To prepare Crouton Salad, approach a Cutting Board and interact with it. Place the required ingredients in the cooking interface. Cooking is unlocked after rescuing Chef Dente during the Rocky Ridges storyline. Having Chef Dente or another Pokemon with the Party specialty nearby increases cooking yields.

Mosslax Offering

Like all cooked food, this dish can be offered to Mosslax to provide area-wide effects that last until 5:00 AM when the daily reset occurs. The specific effect depends on the food type: salads offered to Mosslax provide a boost related to the Leafage move for all nearby Pokemon.

Tips

Crouton Salad is an advanced recipe because it requires bread as an input, which itself needs Wheat and an Oven. Plan your cooking pipeline: grow Wheat, bake Simple Bread, then prepare Crouton Salad. Since both Crouton Salad and Bread Bowl require bread as an ingredient, batch-bake extra bread to cover both recipes. This is one of the most efficient spicy foods for Pokemon gifting if you already have a bread surplus.
