What is an appetizer salad?

An appetizer salad is a light dish served at the beginning of a meal. It is usually smaller in portion than a main course salad and often serves as an introduction to the meal. Appetizer salads can be composed of a variety of ingredients such as greens, vegetables, fruits, cheese, and meat or seafood. They can be tossed with a dressing or served with a dipping sauce. Some popular appetizer salads include Caesar salad, Greek salad, and Waldorf salad.
