What makes a salad salady? It can't be the salad itself: lettuce leaves us confused with fruit salad, broccoli salad and coleslaw (which isn't even a salad - or is it?). Perhaps "salad" is the scrumpy sound it makes when you munch on the mixture? But what about banana salad, potato salad, and tuna salad? Should we still believe in a definitionless dish, or should we better define it?

Quest Through the Salad Bowl

To salad, or not to salad. That, is the question.
