This is a difficult question because of the terminology. Many people use "table salt" to refer to sodium chloride which is a chemical compound and therefore not a mixture. However, while most table salt is predominantly sodium chloride, it may be a mixture: containing small quantities of additives such as sodium and potassium iodides (to combat problems with the thyroid). In France, for example, table salt often contains sodium fluoride to combat dental caries.
