As a Los Angeles native, even if you do n’t really love salad, you still need to pretend to understand it. High-fiber and low-fat, composed of a variety of vegetables and fruits, even the "meatless" star people must affirm its health significance. Some of the following vegetables are more popular and appear in supermarkets and salad bars; some are mostly written on the premium ($$$) restaurant menu. As a professional foodie who loves to eat, how can you not know what artichoke or endive is? What did you just forget? Then make up for it here.

BroccoliMost people should know. Can be eaten raw or cooked. The raw taste is "very healthy".

Spanish spinach, Popeye's favorite dish. Appearing in salads are mainly spinach leaves. The author prefers salad types.

Leaf / Looseleaf LettuceLettuce is the lettuce used in domestic hamburgers.

Romaine Lettuce Rowan lettuce has slightly longer leaves, red and green. The taste is light and crisp. The cooking was delicious.

Iceberg Lettuce Headed lettuce, spherical (nonsense...).Light taste and crispy.Lettuce with oyster sauce lettuce.

Butterhead Lettuce Looks more oily lettuce.

Cabbage Cabbage / cabbage comes in fuchsia and green, which is astringent when eaten raw.

Baby Chard Bracken (reading Junda, I don't know this kind of dish...) beet is a kind of beet that can be found in mixed vegetable salads and is an ingredient used in Mediterranean cuisine.

Oakleaf lettuce The other kind of vegetables that you don't want to buy, but you may see in green salad.

Kale The cabbage has a healthy taste.The people of Los Angeles who love to follow suit have also fallen in love with kale recently.It tastes a little bit loud...There are also high-end gourmet restaurants that offer fried kale in addition to French fries (this is also healthy, who do you lie?)

arugula Arugula, which is often used in Italian cuisine, is one of the "upscale vegetables" that can be used as a salad or on a freshly baked pizza. Taste is stronger than normal vegetables, not just crunchy vegetable flavor. Some people say it smells like soapy water, not so bad, but it is special. However, it is rarely served in general dishes.

(Yes, I also think it looks like a grassy smell...)

Artichoke A large dish of artichoke / artichoke seems to be eaten a little bit. Only soft places near the heart can be eaten. Steamed or roasted and dipping. It can also be mixed with rice. Sometimes in the salad bar of your choice you can see the pickled, sour, taste a bit like a palm tree sprout. Look in the supermarket

Peel and peel the edible part (yes, children's shoes that love bamboo shoots, yes, this sour familiarity!) Heart of Palm Edible sprout part of some palm tree. Common in South American cooking, you can see it when you eat your choice of grilled meat. The taste is also a bit like white or bamboo shoots.

Endive Chicory looks like pakchoi. In fact, people and bitter chrysanthemum are relatives, both of which belong to the family Little Daisy. The taste is similar to bitter chrysanthemum, both are bitter.

Tomatoes and onions will not be introduced to everyone, I believe everyone is also very familiar. Not vegetables but also appear in salads:

crouton Fried bread rolls are fast and may be seasoned separately. Place in salads to add mouthfeel, taste and soda. Sometimes it appears in soup.

cheese There are many types of cheese, just keep in mind that the flavor varies depending on the type. No matter what kind of cheese, there will be milky taste, salty taste, and sour (smelly) smell with different degrees of fermentation.

olive Olive: This is more difficult to classify, it is both a vegetable and a condiment. This is similar to durian and cheese, which have strong flavors. Those who like and hate people are very clear-cut, and there are fewer centrists. There are also many types of olives. Fortunately, you can buy them in the whole foods olive area. In addition to the variety you can choose in the supermarket and salad bar, "DIY" a salad. When eating at the restaurant, there will also be a variety of classic and salads designed by the chef. At this time, if you do n’t know this salad or its side dishes, you may be surprised by what you bring. Of course, those savvy restaurants will also bring you designs that are ordinary but actually "special", compared to The Bazzar's olive jelly. The variety of salads is too rich, ranging from the more traditional and healthy green salad to many people ’s favorite but unhealthy bound salad (lumpy salads, such as potato salad and pasta salad), as well as serving large quantities can be considered together Main course salad (eg chicken salad, salmon salad).

Here is a brief introduction to several appetizers common in restaurants.

Caprese Tomato Cheese SaladI do n’t know if it ’s a salad. One tomato and one mozzarella cheese, plus one basil. Mozzarella cheese is lighter in taste and tastes a bit like cooked egg white. 

Caesar SaladThe main ingredients are Roman lettuce, Parmesan cheese and crouton. I think Parmesan cheese has a strong flavor but it is not as curious as blue cheese, and it is generally soft.

Coleslaw It is made of finely chopped raw cabbage and can be mixed with various sauces, commonly mayonnaise. This was the vegetable salad I had at KFC as a kid.

 Chinese Chicken Salad This product is the same as Zuo Zongtang chicken, not really Chinese food. It's a mix of Chinese (American style Chinese) salad dressing, chicken and lettuce, and sometimes it's also called crispy noodles called fried noodles.

Cobb Salad Produced with honor from Greater California. Although you can eat it everywhere, the avocado ingredient gives this salad a strong California flavor. In addition to leafy greens and avocados, this salad also contains eggs, bacon, and even chicken, so it can also be eaten as a main course.

Egg Salad: Salad often used for sandwich filling. Consisting of lumpy eggs, onions, peppers, and mayonnaise, etc., they are not too delicious.

tabbouleh: Also known as Tabbouli, it is a dish from the Eastern Mediterranean. It is made with tomatoes, onions, and mint (I feel that the Middle East likes mint as a delicacy...) dried wheat or couscous.Because it is mixed with greens, it is sometimes used as a salad.Not very suitable for traditional Chinese tastes.   Regardless of the cooking method and choice of ingredients, salads are a relatively healthy dish. Filled with a lot of lettuce fruits, with a little attention to choosing sauces and ingredients (such as not putting too much bacon, noodles or mayo: D), eating more salads is good for the body. Next time, please enjoy the salad bar near the school / company ~
