I am currently learning new vocabulary regarding foods, and the word Salat is confusing to me. The words salad and lettuce in English appear to be the same in German, i.e. Salat. So how would I order in a restaurant "a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce"? Would I say, "einen Salat mit Tomaten, Gurken und Salat" or "einen Salat mit Tomaten, Gurken und Salatblätter"? Is the meaning of the word (salad vs. lettuce) understood simply by context?
Thanks to anyone in advance for the clarification!
