Sometimes, you’re simply in a mood to make a special treat out of your meal. And it doesn’t even have to be a fancy meal as long as you have a few cheap garnishes on hand. To make sure you always have some when you need them, pick those that don’t spoil easily and are cheap to purchase. Here are our suggestions.
Lemons
Lemons, but also limes, are the perfect fruit to stock your produce drawer with. You can use them in so many ways – for salads, meat, fish, vegetables, for lemonade and other beverages. A slice of lemon on your plate can easily turn your meal into a gourmet one.
Green Onion
We’re not saying that green onions are just a garnish, but they are a great way to add some texture to your soup or any other dish you feel is a little too bland.
Red Pepper Flakes
What’s not to like about the garnish that adds some spiciness and color to the dish but can’t ever go bad? Red pepper flakes will transform any plain meal into a vibrant dish that you’ll look forward to.
