About McDONALD'S, Side Salad
A salad is a dish of mixed ingredients, often raw and served cool, ranging from a simple bowl of leafy greens to a hearty, complete meal. Vegetable salads built on lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion are the most familiar, but the category is vast, taking in pasta, grain, bean, potato, egg, chicken, tuna, and fruit salads as well. The ingredients are usually tossed with a dressing, from a bright vinaigrette of oil and acid to a creamy blend based on mayonnaise or yogurt, which ties the flavors together.
Salads are valued as a light, refreshing way to eat plenty of vegetables, fiber, and vitamins, though the calorie count swings widely once cheese, nuts, croutons, and rich dressings join in. They appear as starters, sides, and main courses across nearly every cuisine. Build a salad from the freshest produce, dress leafy versions just before serving so they stay crisp, and refrigerate anything made with dairy, egg, or mayonnaise.
