What 🥗 means from a girl or a guy
Who sent the green salad and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.
09 — Around the world
What 🥗 means in other countries
In the US it carries a faint diet-culture undertone — “just a salad” can hint at cutting calories rather than only meaning a healthy meal.
Can imply dieting or “eating light,” especially paired with gym or weight-loss talk.
An everyday side dish with every meal, no health-signaling attached.
Before you send it: Pair it with other food emoji if you just mean “healthy meal” and want to avoid the diet-talk undertone.

13 — History
Where the 🥗 Green Salad emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.
Same character every time — U+1F957 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Green Salad was approved as U+1F957 and shipped in Emoji 3.0 (2016). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🥗 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
