Garden salad, is sometimes referred to as a tossed
salad, is primarily a mixture of raw vegetables. Two non-vegetable
ingredients, which may or may not be included, are croutons and salad
dressing. The dish is served cold and usually eaten before a main
course. In some cases, it may be eaten in lieu of an entree.
The availability of vegetables can vary from one region to another. This
means that the contents of this type of salad may vary. A garden salad
is usually considered a basic salad, which means that it does not
contain exotic ingredients and is generally composed of easy to obtain
low cost items.
