What is a complex salads?

Complex salads combine various greens, toppings, proteins, dressings, and ingredients such as croutons, seeds, or dried fruit to elevate both flavor and nutritional value beyond simple leaf-based ones. These diverse mixtures often showcase textures, tastes, colors, and nutritional properties. Complex salads serve not only as refreshing starters but may act as a satisfying main course due to their richness and sustenance.

Salads such as Nicoise, Cobb, Chef, or the Italian Panzanella exemplify more intricate salad profiles characterized by the blending of ingredients and flavors that result in satisfying culinary experiences.
