What does SALAD mean in Scrabble?

A salad brings together fresh or cooked ingredients such as lettuce, tomatoes, or fruit, tossed with oil, vinegar, or another dressing to add flavour and moisture. The word covers a very wide range of dishes, from a simple green salad to more elaborate mixtures containing meat, fish, pasta, or grains.

The phrase salad days, borrowed from Shakespeare, uses the word figuratively to describe an inexperienced, youthful period of life.
