Freshness and variety of ingredients are essential for high-quality salads. Lettuce, of course, is the first choice for most people, but many other foods can make up a salad.
The following tables list, by category, most of the ingredients used in popular salads. You will be able to think of others. Add them to the lists as they occur to you or as they are suggested by your instructor. The lists will be useful when you are creating your own salad ideas.
Following these lists are detailed descriptions of two groups of food that have not been covered in previous chapters and belong especially in the pantry: salad greens and fresh fruits.
