No, it is not. While it may contain some epithelial cells from the inside of your mouth, it is made up of primarily of water. Mixed in with the water are several other substances. These include mucins, which lubricate your food, salivary amylase, which breaks starches down into simpler sugars, and lysozyme, which acts as an antibacterial agent.

Mucous cells have a thick secretion, the most common example is nasal mucous. Serous cells have a thin, almost watery secretion. Saliva is a good example of a serous secretion.
Which gland does the saliva comes from?
Saliva comes from glands located in the mouth. The major glands are 2 Parotid, 2 Submandibular, and 2 Sublingal. The duct each Parotid gland can be seen on the cheek near the 2nd upper molars. The ducts to the Submandibualr glands are just lateral to the frenulum of the tongue. You can cause these glands to secrete by getting a popsicle stick and lightly poking and messaging them. Smaller glands exist throughout the mouth and also contribute to salivary secretions. This includes the inside of the lips, palate, cheeks, and tongue and secrete via small ducts. the cells that produce saliva are mucous cells and serous cells of the salivary glands. The epithelial cells of the ducts modify the saliva before it is secreted into the mouth. drazx is the original author of this answer

Why is saliva always hypotonic to plasma?
Acinar cells secrete a isotonic mixture of saliva which then gets modified through the ductal cells to produce a hypotonic saliva compared to plasma with a high K+ and HCO3- concentration. HOWEVER, at high flow rates the saliva actually resembles plasma (isotonic) because there wasn't enough to modify the saliva.
