Where does ๐ฅ Green Salad emoji come from?
The green salad emoji was first tossed in 2016 under Unicode 9.0. It joined a long list of other healthy options, including the avocado emoji ๐ฅ, the carrot emoji ๐ฅ, and the cucumber emoji ๐ฅ.
Across platforms, the green salad emoji depicts a simple salad in a white bowl with lettuce, tomatoes, and other vegetables, such as cucumbers, onions, and black olives, as the screenshot from Emojipedia shows below.
In the above screenshot, you might note a hardboiled egg in Googleโs design. In June 2018, Google removed that egg. One of Googleโs UX managers, Jennifer Daniel, joked that the decision was meant to be more inclusive of vegans, though apparently the change was made to be more in line with the Unicode description of the emoji. People were opinionated about the loss of the egg โฆ letโs just leave it at that.
Thereโs big talk about inclusion and diversity at Google so if you need any evidence of Google is making this priority may I direct your attention to the ๐ฅ emojiโ weโve removed the egg in Android P beta 2, making this a more inclusive vegan salad. pic.twitter.com/kzHY0A9ZjG

As weโve seen with the eggplant ๐ and peach emoji ๐, the green salad emoji readily lent itself to sexual innuendo, specifically โtossing someoneโs salad,โ slang for stimulating someoneโs anus since the 1970s.
