It seems there are more salad recipes available every year. It is a good thing that salads can be classified into different types, so you can narrow down your choices. There are six basic types of salads: green, vegetable, bound, entree, fruit, and dessert. Most people are familiar with green and vegetable verities. Bound salads include any type made with a thick sauce such as potato salad, chicken salad or macaroni salad. Entree salads include Caesar, Cobb, and Chef Salad. Fruit salad is self-explanatory, and dessert salads are often made with gelatin or whipped topping.
