Say what?! Woman makes popcorn salad and the entire internet explodes
Twitter is the platform teeming with heated political discussions and where other important world affairs are discussed at length. Every now and then, food also falls under those important world affairs. And yes, when this woman shared her popcorn salad recipe, the world had, again, no mercy.
Salads don’t belong in a jar, shouldn’t be drenched in a tasteless dressing, and you’d also be better off cutting those whole cherry tomatoes and thick slices of cucumber a little smaller before throwing them into the bowl. According to around 5 million people, popcorn is also something that doesn’t belong in it. And Molly found that out the hard way.
Crunchy and delicious
In this video, chef Molly Yeh shows how she makes the salad, consisting of mayonnaise, popcorn and finely chopped vegetables. Molly admits that when people hear “popcorn in salad,” most of them don’t immediately start salivating, but that the end result is truly worth it. To make the salad, she first mixes the popcorn with mayo and then tosses in some lettuce leaves and strips of carrot. Crunchy and delicious, according to Molly. But not everyone shares that opinion, as the comments make clear.
Try before you die
Although we go through bags of popcorn here and popcorn in a dish such as this popcorn falafel or salted caramel mousse really is incredibly delicious, the confusion is still understandable. Popcorn coated in a layer of mayo probably won’t be quite as crunchy as Molly promises, and nobody is waiting for soggy, limp popcorn. Still, I am curious, and under the motto “try it first, judge it later,” there might just be a popcorn salad on the table during lunch next week…
