How to solve bitterness in a blended salad?
Posted by: Delta223 ()

Hi, I tried the following recipe with poor results:

2 tomatoes, roughly chopped (about 2 cups)
1 cucumber, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 cups lettuce
1 cup spinach
2 green onion
1/4 cup parsley
3 stalks of celery
1 small avocado
1 tablespoon paprika

^It also called for the following which I did not include (because I couldn't find it at the Food 4 Less)


1 teaspoon agave nectar (optional)
2 tablespoons dulse flakes
1 sheet of nori, shredded


^Are those critical ingredients? How can I salvage my current blend? The taste is fairly bitter right now.

Thanks for sharing. For me that is too many items. I like to limit my items to 3 when doing smoothies. The blender can blend anything but I like to keep it simple. Dandelion greens, cucumber, and bananas is one of them. Sweet bitterness.

Yes, to much stuff, you will have to keep it simple if you want better taste.

You can add more avocado and/or use a sweetener. Dates are a good substitute for agave.
