What makes a salad, a salad? Can you just toss any number of random ingredients together and call it a day? From the brief research I did, yes. Yes, you can. There seems to be a variety of different salads out there, ranging from your typical caesar to more complicated grain and pasta salads. You can even make fruit salad! Just like the Wiggles did in the ‘90s. Heck, some people will even mix together whipped topping, canned fruit, marshmallows, and call it a salad (if this sounds like something you’d be into for some reason, check out this Ambrosia Salad Recipe).

I personally prefer my salads with no marshmallows or whipped topping. Try this simple Cabbage Salad that’s sure to be a yummy palate-cleanser during your four-course meal!
