green salad

Lettuce-based dish

A green salad is a salad made primarily from leafy greens—lettuce, spinach, arugula, or mixed greens—typically served with dressing.

The term distinguishes it from salads built around other ingredients like pasta, potato, or fruit: I'll just have a green salad with my steak.
