'''Salad''' is a form of [[food]] composed principally of uncooked edible leaves, [[vegetable]]s, and [[fruit]] such as [[tomato]]es and [[cucumber]]s, often with the addition of [[egg]], [[cheese]], [[nut]]s, [[meat]] or [[fish]]. Salads are generally served cold, although warm salads have become popular in recent years. Examples of traditional salads are the potato salad of [[Germany]] and the green [[papaya]] salad of [[Thailand]]. A fruit salad is a mixture of chopped raw fruit. A tuna salad is made with tuna fish, onion, and [[mayonnaise]]; while a chicken salad has the same ingredients as tuna salad but with cooked chicken in place of the tuna. Salads are usually garnished with salad dressing, a liquid mixture that adds flavor and usually has a base of [[vinegar]] and [[olive oil]]. [[Slaw]]s such as [[cole slaw]] are another kind of salad, usually with a [[cabbage]] base instead of [[lettuce]]. Salad is usually praised for its high [[fiber]] and [[beta carotene]], as well as its low [[calorie]] count and [[trans fat]] content. However, these nutritional values depend on the ingredients, dressing, and quantity. Another health consideration is the frequent occurence of [[E. coli]], [[salmonella]], and [[drosophila]] eggs in salad.
