Is it permitted to crumble a biscuit into fine crumbs?
There is no prohibition of grinding after something has already been ground, therefore if salt or sugar has formed into a lump in a jar, it is permitted to crumble it. Similarly, it is permitted to crumble a biscuit or cookie into fine crumbs [Chazon Ovadia 4, p. 252].
Is it permitted to cut a salad for a meal that will not be eaten immediately?
It is permitted to cut a salad, even into very small pieces, if one intends to eat it immediately. However, if one cuts it with the intention of setting it aside, it is forbidden [Chazon Ovadia p. 265].
Similarly, it is permitted to mash a banana or avocado if one intends to eat it immediately [Chazon Ovadia p. 255].
