garden salads

Fresh vegetable medleys

Garden salads are salads made primarily from fresh raw vegetables—typically lettuce or mixed greens as a base, with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and other produce.

The term distinguishes these from pasta salads, potato salads, or other preparations where vegetables aren't the main component.

A garden salad often serves as a starter course or side dish: I'll have the garden salad with ranch dressing.
