A wooden bowl is an essential element in making a great homemade salad dressing that your family fights over at the dinner table. A quality wooden bowl will contribute to decades of great salads.
The minute chefs walk in the door of their kitchen to make a great salad, they pick up a beautiful wooden bowl and a fork. That’s it. The list of tools ends there. But these two things need to be there for a great salad.
Crunch up the garlic and the aromatics in the bowl with the fork. When you add a garlic clove and smash it around the wooden bowl, the friction from the sides of the bowl helps you get the right consistency. Then remove the garlic from the bowl, and the sides absorb just the right amount of garlic flavor. This wouldn’t work the same way in a stainless steel or glass bowl.
After this, you can add your greens and tomatoes as usual. Here’s you’ll see why the wooden bowl is revered so much. The wooden background just makes the salad greens pop. Other ingredients like halfway cut black olives and fresh summer tomatoes also look more appetizing against a wooden background.
Some people also love to use the wooden bowl as it makes them feel nostalgic about the past. You’ve probably known someone who uses the wooden bowl because their grandma used to have it. Wooden salad bowls are a tradition. Salads should never be served individually in a plate. They should be served in the classic wooden bowl for the family to feast on. Just like old recipes work like a charm, old wooden bowls do too.
The wooden bowl is a great gift for the cooking enthusiast in your friend circle. Why? Because woodenware is tremendously growing in its appeal. Choose a wooden bowl that gives your friend value, quality and beauty. It will add some warmth and balance to their home kitchen.
