Desert Salad

 is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This item is made at a campfire. It requires: Barrel cactus fruit (1), brahmin steak (1), and pinyon nuts (1).

It requires 55 survival skill to be crafted.

This is a highly useful food in hardcore mode, as it is more effective than standard Stimpak with an equal Medicine skill. Also, it is a light-weighted item which may be useful for a character with low Strength.

Prior to patch 1.02, desert salad required an additional 1 barrel cactus fruit and 1 pinyon nut to craft.
