soup and salad
Light meal pairing
Soup and salad is a meal combination offered at restaurants, typically as a lighter lunch option or starter course.
The phrase usually implies a pairing—a bowl of soup alongside a small salad—often available at a set price: I'll just have the soup and salad.
The order is fixed; "salad and soup" sounds unnatural.
