What's For Dinner? v15.25 -- Index of Salads

a fine garden salad

While compiling this I started wondering what defined a salad; here is wiki’s take:

A salad is a dish consisting of pieces of food in a mixture, sometimes with at least one raw ingredient. It is often dressed, and is typically served at room temperature or chilled, though some (such as south German potato salad, or chicken salad) can be served warm.

Garden salads use a base of leafy greens such as lettuce, arugula/rocket, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads. Other types include bean salad, tuna salad, fattoush, Greek salad (vegetable-based, but without leafy greens), and sōmen salad (a noodle-based salad). The sauce used to flavor a salad is generally called a salad dressing; most salad dressings are based on either a mixture of oil and vinegar or a fermented milk product like kefir.

Salads may be served at any point during a meal.

My definition is shorter: if the diary writer called it salad or slaw, it is in this list.

This is Part 3 of the index; 78 recipes for salad, which may be the single largest chapter. Part 4 will be appetizers.
