      "Many examinations of early Yawning Portal menus have noted that its heavy, often greasy, fare had a celebratory \"last meal\" sense about it. This is likely because return from the Undermountain was simply not expected, with only the soiled dishware of stout adventurers left behind. However, as more adventurers survived the mad mage Halaster's labyrinth, the menu evolved to accommodate a balance of healthier options. Senior cook Jarandur Tallstand adapted the traditional wood-elven forest salad, or chopforest, as it has been called, to complement the heavier menu options with its mix of peppered leaves, olives, fennel, and tangy vinaigrette dressing. It is said that a chopforest delivered unto your table, compliments of Yawning Portal proprietor and Undermountain gatekeeper {@creature Durnan|WDH}, is a happy omen before one's descent to Undermountain."

    "You can substitute thinly shaved fresh brussels sprouts for some or all of the cabbage if you'd like. It will decrease the yield a bit, as brussels sprouts leaves are more delicate than cabbage, and they compact more once dressed. If you use shaved brussels sprouts, there's no need to salt and rest them."

    "In a colander or large strainer set over a medium bowl, toss the cabbage with 2 teaspoons salt. Let the cabbage rest until slightly wilted, at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Rinse the cabbage well under very cold running water, drain thoroughly, and dry very well with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Scrape the cabbage into a large bowl and fluff it with your fingers (it can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days).",
    "Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the olives, vinegar, lemon zest, garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt; season with pepper; and whisk to incorporate. While whisking vigorously, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to combine and emulsify into a dressing.",
    "Add the cabbage, fennel bulb, scallions, and parsley to the bowl and toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary, and sprinkle with the fennel fronds before serving."
