Salad

---

A salad is a dish consisting of mixed ingredients, frequently vegetables. They are typically served chilled or at room temperature, though some can be served warm. Condiments called salad dressings, which exist in a variety of flavors, are usually used to make a salad. Garden salads have a base of raw leafy greens (sometimes young "baby" greens) such as lettuce, arugula (rocket), kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads. Other types of salad include bean salad, tuna salad, bread salads (such as fattoush, panzanella), vegetable salads without leafy greens (such as Greek salad, potato salad, coleslaw), rice-, pasta- and noodle-based salads, fruit salads and dessert salads. Salads may be served at any point during a meal: Appetizer salads – light, smaller-portion salads served as the first course of the meal Side salads – to accompany the main course as a side dish; examples include potato salad and coleslaw Main course salads – usually containing a portion of one or more high-protein foods, such as eggs, legumes, or cheese Dessert salads – sweet salads containing fruit, gelatin, sweeteners or whipped cream When a sauce is used to flavor a salad, it is generally called a dressing; most salad dressings are based on either a mixture of oil and vinegar or a creamy dairy base.
