Represents a bowl of fresh salad — light, healthy, and refreshing. It’s often used to show clean eating, self-care, or a “trying to be good” mood after too many snacks.
Your friend asks what you’re having for lunch after a big weekend.
Just a salad today 🥗 my body needs a reset 😅
In Japan, 🥗 appears in café menus and Instagram food posts to signal “healthy lifestyle” or “Western-style lunch.” It’s more of an aesthetic symbol than an everyday meal.
When used sarcastically (“salad for dinner again 🥗😩”), it can imply dieting fatigue — tone depends heavily on the message.
