Salads and Dressing: Uses of Salads

Salads and Dressing

A salad can be described as a mixture of raw or cooked vegetables, sometimes served with a dressing for added flavour. Most of the time, the base ingredient is lettuce but many chefs have created their own versions of salads which substitute in other commodities (like pasta or quinoa).
