Aziz Ansari compares love to salad

Aziz Ansari, who is selling out arenas with his stand-up comedy show, “Modern Romance,” won’t identify the woman he’s been dating for nine months.

But the “Parks and Recreation” actor is a famous foodie, according to Billboard, “and a source says his girlfriend works in the food industry.”

“I met her years ago when she was seeing someone. I thought she was really cool. Then I ran into her randomly and she was single,” Ansari told the trade for its comedy issue.

Since that fateful encounter, he says, “I’ve kind of settled down. I was the guy eating Skittles and having lots of fun, and then I was like, ‘I need a nice nutritious salad’ — she’s the salad.”
