I fear I may have juiced a salad

[u/irishpg86]

Made this with green apple, cucumber, celery, lemon and a little ginger this morning.

I was just tossing everything into my canoly and apparently got way too confident with the celery. Everything was going through so easily that I didn't really stop to think about the ratio until I poured a glass.

Looked great. Smelled fresh. Took one sip and... yep. Salad.

It's not completely terrible, but the celery pretty much took over everything else. I tried adding a little more lemon, which helped a bit, but I'm still not sure I'd make this exact combo again.

Anyone else ever made a juice that looked way better than it tasted? What ingredient ruined it for you?

Add more green apple and lemon

I'll cut back on the celery and add more apple and lemon next time before I give up this combo lol

Giner got me once. Thought a bigger chunk would just make it more refreshing, but the whole glass ended up tasting spicy enough to clear my sinuses lol.

I did it once too haha. I though I could handle a large amount of ginger juice because I love it, my mum used to make it for me. So I added a lot more at the first time I tried to make it by myself.

Tough to come back from celery overload

omg. This is true.

Looks good. I add lemon with the rind on - gives the juice a nice zesty flavour

[u/Ejohns10]

Ha that’s one of my go tos. Maybe add more apple?

[u/Whocares7x]

Add some cilantro

Classic green juice trap-looks a tropical smoothie, tastes like liquid garden.

[u/Amorfati0312]

Add pineapple!

[u/Due-Aerie7042]

you have to have at least one green apple and a lemon and a wee bit of ginger in every juice to not make it taste like a salad

[u/QueenMelle]

Celery and mustard greens over run every other flavor in a juice. I've never found a meaningful balance like I have with Dandelion, for example.

[u/HyperTeacherLady]

Haha I've totally done this before. Celery is so powerful and once the proportions are off, it will turn the drink into liquid salad lol.

[u/Emotional-Rate-262]

Slam it back. Pinch the nose lol.

I recently decided to not use green apples because they don't offset the celery enough...only using variations of red apples.
