"text": "Created by the now-discontinued Dole Salads, National Salad Day was hatched \"as part of an ongoing initiative to encourage salad enjoyment, experimentation and culinary exploration.\" Intentionally created to coincide with National Salad Month, it was first observed in 2013. That year, Dole Salads partnered with Tastespotting, a foodie and recipe website that also is no longer in operation, and called on salad lovers to submit recipes throughout the month, which they shared. Since the shuttering of Dole Salads, there no longer is an organization officially promoting the day, but it continues to be celebrated, with salad lovers making and eating salads and restaurants offering salad specials on the day.\nThere are innumerable kinds of salads. Salads are made up of mixed ingredients, which often are vegetables. Salads are usually chilled, but some are served warm or at room temperature. They often are made using salad dressings, a condiment that may have a creamy dairy base, or be made with vinegar and oil. Salads are sold at restaurants and supermarkets, with some offering salad bars, and supermarkets also selling salad kits.\nGarden salads have a base of leafy greens, like lettuce, spinach, kale, or arugula. They are so common that they are often referred to simply as salads, and also may be called a green salad or green leaf salad. They may have any number of toppings, including raw vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, and dressings. There are vegetable salads without leafy greens, like Greek salad, coleslaw, and potato salad. There is bean salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, ham salad, and egg salad. There are various types of fruit salads. There are salads centered around pasta, noodles, and rice, such as macaroni salad.\nThere are main course or dinner salads like Caesar salad, Cobb salad, chef salad, and Chinese chicken salad, including regional salads like Pittsburgh salad and Michigan salad, and there are dessert salads, often made with fruit, gelatin, and whipped cream, examples being ambrosia, jello salad, and Watergate salad. From main courses to desserts, the options for salads are limitless, so there are plenty of ways to celebrate National Salad Day.",
