Is salad a mixture or solution?

* Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances where each substance retains its own properties.

* Solutions are special types of mixtures where one substance (solute) dissolves completely into another substance (solvent), forming a homogeneous mixture.

In a salad, you can easily identify the individual ingredients: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. Each ingredient keeps its distinct properties, and you can physically separate them. This makes it a heterogeneous mixture.
