    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).

  • Types of salad dressing

    There are two main types of salad dressings, namely cooked and uncooked. Uncooked dressings include both vinaigrette (comprised of a basic oil and vinegar mix, at a ratio of 3:1) and mayonnaise (a mixture of raw egg yolks and oil). Cooked dressings, on the other hand, constitute the same base as mayonnaise (slightly less oil) and are, by definition, cooked rather than raw.
