SALAD COMPONENTS
Garnish - contributes to a salads visual
appeal and very often to its flavor. A garnish
should be colorful, edible, and the same
temperature as the salad itself.
Most important, the garnish should be simple
so that it does not overpower the
presentation of the salad.
Common salad garnishes include herbs, hardcooked eggs, olives, fruits, cheese, and nuts.
Some salads, such as fruit salads, do not
require a garnish or dressing.

Salad Greens
A variety of greens are available for use in salads.
Although all are leafy vegetables, not all are green.
More tender greens such as arugula and butterhead
are preferred over greens such as collards and
chard that require cooking to make them more
palatable.
Baby varieties of sturdier greens not usually used in
salads, such as beet greens and mustard greens,
also make excellent additions.
Salad greens can be classified into two general
categories:
mild greens and flavor-adding greens.
flavor-adding greens can be either spicy or bitter.

Salad Dressings
A dressing is both a sauce and a
seasoning. As such, it should complement
the flavors and textures of the salad
ingredients, not dominate them.
