1 The five basic types of salad are green salads (tossed or composed), bound, vegetable, fruit, and combination. 2  The five basic salads that can be served throughout the course of a meal are starter, accompaniment, main course, intermezzo, and dessert.
In addition, the salad should contain a variety of vegetables, greens, and/or fruits. One popular main course salad is a chef's salad, containing mixed greens, raw vegetables, strips of meat, and cheese. Another example is shrimp or crabmeat salad with tomato and lemon wedges and avocados served on a bed of lettuce, accompanied by cottage cheese and fresh fruit.
