Food / A2

SAL-uh-d/ˈsæləd/

A salad is a cold dish of mixed vegetables, often with lettuce: a green salad, a side salad, salad dressing. It is countable for one serving: a salad, two salads; uncountable when you mean the food in general: I like salad. Soup is hot and wet; salad is usually cold and raw or lightly cooked. Do not write “a salad of fruits” as often as a fruit salad — that set phrase is fine.
