There's no way to fit salad (0,1,0), soup (1,0,0), and steak (0, 0.5, 0) on the same ternary plot because the first two points add up to 1 and the last one add up to 0.5.

If you actually want to keep the last axis which is essentially a comment on how much the item fits within the space you can use dot color or size though I’d argue that it’s actually pretty much irrelevant for this comparison.
