Nothing quite as satisfying as a good avocado-tomato salad. It’s a 100% ingredients, 0% cooking skill salad. All those people who claim they can’t cook I suspect just haven’t learned to shop for good ingredients. Cooking is the easy part and in many cases not I-even required.

I didn’t eat avocado till I was like 25, and then in the form of meh guacamole that turned me off. Didn’t realize how good fresh was till 2011. Didn’t learn how to run a perfect-ripeness home supply chain till 4-5 years ago. Didn’t secure good, cheap, steady supply till 2y ago.

I had mediocre Indian tomatoes growing up (mostly Roma) then really bad American grocery store ones (beefsteak are horrible). Then mediocre again with on-the-vine, but then discovered heirloom and good farmers market ones about a decade ago and 🤯

Same with lettuce. Fresh from farmers market washed and prepped yourself >>> bagged from grocery store. Basically anything you might eat raw, but farmers market if you can. Cooks bled too if you can though the difference is smaller there.

I was the inverse
I thought I “hated” ingredients
until I had a major breakthrough:
“Ooooooh, I just need to learn how to cook”
Turns out I only hated ingredients
because I didn’t like how they
were handled/prepared
* raw onions
* bell peppers
* most vegetables actually

feel the same about my ice cream maker. With a good ice cream maker, the quality of the ice cream is 100% the quality of the ingredients as the "cooking" is just blending up the fruit (generally) and sometimes cream
