おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
「サラダ…？…葉っぱやんけ」ってサムネイルの強烈さに惹かれた記事。
カット野菜にはお世話になってます。もちろん袋ごと食べますすみませんw
decrepit
意味 老衰した; 老朽化した.
I had just been promoted from dishwasher and was newly in charge of assembling salads to order from an array of decrepit vegetables that were stored in a walk-in fridge, which was kept a few degrees too cold: iceberg lettuce that was frozen in spots, pale tomatoes with powdery edges, canned black olives and raw red onions, thinly sliced with a very blunt knife.

effortless
意味 骨の折れない, 楽な.
I didn’t know lettuce could taste like that, so crisp, juicy and full of natural sweetness. That was the day I learned that a green salad’s power can come from its simplicity. Keep in mind that simple does not mean effortless.

美味しいサラダって超手間かかってるよね。洗い方にしても氷水とか使うんだろうし。何度生まれ変わっても私には作れない！
compulsory
意味 [C] （フィギュアスケート· 体操などの） 規定演技.
Sohui Kim, a chef and partner at the steakhouse Gage & Tollner in Brooklyn, views the green salad not as a compulsory menu item but as an opportunity to perfect a classic, something she learned how to do on the job at Blue Hill restaurant and later at Annisa (now closed), both in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. It’s also a barometer for how good a restaurant is.

integrity
意味 (かたく) 完全に一体であること; 無傷の状態
The salad leaves used at Gage & Tollner come from local farms and change every week. Sometimes it’s beautiful radicchio, other times it’s frisée; mustard greens are often featured. “Each leaf has its own integrity and flavor and composition,” Kim says, which is why when you’re making a salad, you should taste the leaves as you go.

こんな難しい単語使わなくてもよくない？と思うけど、これがレストラン紹介記事なのがいいよねw
kaleidoscopic
意味 [通例[名]の前で]頻繁 [次々] に変化する〈景色· 色など〉; 多種多様 [彩] な; 万華鏡の.
At Wm. Mulherin’s Sons in Philadelphia, the culinary director Jim Burke leans into a kaleidoscopic mix of lettuces. “There are so many different varieties, and they have such different characteristics, each one of them,” he says.

assertive
意味 しっかり自己主張する, 積極的な
“I think a lot of restaurants do that, where you have salt and previously ground pepper right next to each other all the time. But pepper is an extraordinarily assertive flavor. It doesn’t have a place in everything, especially with delicate leaves.”

これは…塩コショウってセットだものな…。
私、塩分大好きなのを改善しようと、最近はハバネロとコショウとマヨネーズのどれかで味付けするようにしてるんだけど、まー確かにコショウがあれば塩気いらないからなー。
pop
意味 (くだけて) A をポンと置く [入れる]
This may be the best trick in Burke’s green-salad playbook, a quiet but powerful extra step to elevate your salads at home: After washing and drying your greens, pop them in the refrigerator, covered with a tea towel, and keep them chilled until right before you’re ready to dress them.

cacophony
意味 [C][U] (かたく) 不協和音, 耳障りな音 （通例 a ～ of A で）
While the washed lettuce hangs out in the fridge, you can continue preparing the rest of dinner. By the time everything has cooked, your salad leaves will be crisper than crisp and cooler than cool, a pleasurable cacophony of textures, shyly slicked with a film of salt, acid and oil.

pleasurableで装飾されてるから、良い意味合いで使ってるのね。素材のテクスチャが様々だから、口の中で統一感はないけどそれが面白い的な。
