Difference between veg and salad in Atkins? I speak Dutch and don't understand what's the difference in english between salad ( sprouts, celery, mushrooms, lettuce...) and veg (aspargus, cabbage, snow peas, tomatoes...). Aren't the all just vegetables?

In English-speaking countries, the term "salad" usually means a mixture of several foods, usually with green leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach, etc.) as the main ingredient, and are generally not cooked. Salads also typically include a sauce or "salad dressing", which is either poured over the salad, or mixed in when it is prepared. In contrast, a 'vegetable' dish usually has a single ingredient (or maybe a mixture of 2 or 3), and is usually cooked. I hope this helps.

Usually a tossed salad is served raw with a vinergrette or other cream dressing,where a vegetable dish is cooked slightly or steamed with a little seasoning/butter or cream sauce.A vegetable dipping platter is usually an assostment of vegetables,arranged on a tray or platter(hence the name)with an available dip,or a variety of dips.I hope that this has cleared it up for you,my friend,and enjoy your stay in your new environment,please!*

My best guess would be that salad can be easily eaten without it being cooked first. & that traditonal 'veg' need some cooking to make them palatable.

In kitchen parlance, salad is usually vegetables prepared to be eaten raw, usually with a dressing, whereas veg is cooked vegetable, usually served hot.
