2. Caesar salad

3. Garden salad

4. Crisp iceberg and romaine lettuce tossed with carrots and red cabbage, topped with diced eggs, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and homemade croutons. Served with choice of dressing

A house salad is typically a simple starter dish common in many restaurants. It is a salad consisting of various vegetables, usually made with a base of lettuce or greens, and often includes other toppings such as fruits, nuts, or cheese. Option A, mixed greens with fruit, is inaccurate because a house salad would typically not contain sweet or acidic elements such as fruit. Option B, Caesar salad, is also incorrect because a true Caesar salad would have a specific dressing and ingredients, including romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan cheese, and anchovies. Option C, garden salad, is the most general term and could include a wide variety of ingredients, making it an incorrect answer choice for a specific type of salad. Option D, crisp iceberg and romaine lettuce tossed with carrots and red cabbage, topped with diced eggs, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and homemade croutons and served with choice of dressing, provides the most detailed and accurate description of a traditional house salad. The combination of the specific ingredients and dressing options make it the best representation of a house salad.
