In short, for me nothing taste better than healthy. All taste are acquired accept human breast milk: https://youtu.be/FX58PyQwrcI

But, taste are so subjective really that I'm not sure people "generally" appreciate the same things I do. Most people are accustomed to eating unhealthy and have developed taste based on this behavior. They have become desensitized to salt, oil, and sugar and don't taste these things naturally occurring in real food that grows from the earth. 

In the course of one day our tastes can effect our desires. For example, if you eat something sugary for breakfast you are far more likely to choose something sugary later in the same day.

I don't add salt, oil, or sugar to what I eat. As a result my taste buds and expectations are completely different than most people. I appreciate the simple taste of natural, whole plant foods. Some things I use to not like I now love. I am now easy to please as long as it's healthy. 

If someone feels like a healthy recipe is missing salt, oil, or sugar it may just be that they've become desensitized. Really, what's missing is their ability to taste these things naturally occurring in foods. Restaurants, pre-made meals, and processed foods all invariably add salt, oil, and sugar to make you want their products of course. So if you're not doing your own cooking where you don't add these refined and processed ingredients then your taste buds most likely have been bombarded with them causing you to crave a higher degree of those ingredients. 

Pretty fast, in as little as a few weeks you may easily regain sensitivity to these ingredients by abstaining from eating foods where they're added. Remember, all tastes are acquired accept human breast milk. This means you can learn and unlearn to love virtually anything. Think of it like a smoker. Often times when they quit they are repulsed by the smelled they use to crave. That's an extreme example of the power of becoming desensitized and our resilience to unlearn bad behaviors.

Nothing taste better than healthy! Learn to love what loves back!
