Adding salt to salad too early, extracting vegetable water and wilting it

Adding salt at the end

When salt is added to a salad early, it begins the process of drawing water from the vegetables, leading to liquids releasing from them and causing them to wilt. To avoid this problem, it is preferred to add salt to the salad at the end, right before serving. In this way, the vegetables will maintain their fresh, crunchy texture, and the salad will be more appetizing.
