salads
Tossed vegetable medleys
Salads are dishes of mixed raw or cooked ingredients, typically vegetables, served cold or at room temperature.
The classic image is leafy greens with dressing, but the category sprawls: potato salad, fruit salad, pasta salad, chicken salad.
What unites them is the mixing of distinct ingredients into a composed whole, usually with some binding element like dressing or mayonnaise.
Toss the salad before serving.
