A salad is most often composed of a mixture of uncooked vegetables, built up on a base of green leafy vegetables such as one or more lettuce varieties, dandelion, alfalfa sprouts, cabbage, spinach or arugula. This is often referred to as a "green salad."

Other common vegetables in a green salad include tomato, cucumber, peppers, mushroom, onion, green onion, carrot and radish. Other food items such as pasta, olives, cooked potatoes, rice, croutons, meat and poultry (e.g. bacon, chicken), cheese or seafood (e.g. tuna, crab) are sometimes added to salads.
