Salad Bases

A salad base is the foundation of a salad, usually consisting of leafy greens such as romaine or spinach. It provides the bulk of the salad and serves as a canvas for other ingredients to be added on top.


Salad Accents

A salad accent is an ingredient that adds a burst of flavor, texture, or color to a salad. It is usually used sparingly and strategically to enhance the overall taste and presentation of the dish.


Salad Herbs

A salad herb is a leafy green or flowering plant that is used to add flavor and aroma to a salad. It is often used in small amounts to complement other ingredients.
