A salad is generally a mixture of uncooked vegetables, often lettuce or tomato. Other foods such as pasta, cooked potatoes, rice, croutons, meat (eg bacon) or fish (tuna) are sometimes added to salads.

Some sort of dressing is often added such as vinaigrette or mayonnaise, as well as herbs.

A fruit salad is a number of sliced, peeled fruits served in their own juices or with a dressing.
