A Caesar salad is a mixture. It consists of various ingredients, including romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and dressing, which are combined but retain their individual properties. Unlike elements or compounds, the components of a mixture can be separated and do not undergo a chemical change when mixed.
Well...let's see now... My copy of the periodic table lists "Cs" as "Caesium" (or "Cesium." Whatever turns you on.) rather than "Caesar Salad." There aren't any other entries on the periodic table for "Caesar Salad." So we know it's not an element. We also know it's not hard to separate the various components that go into making a Caesar Salad...just pick out the croutons and wash the lettuce. A compound takes more work than that to separate. Caesar Salad must be a mixture.
Salad is a heterogeneous mixture of a lot of things, many of which are themselves heterogeneous mixtures..
Caesar salad is a mixture of various ingredients like lettuce, croutons, dressing, and sometimes chicken or shrimp. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide. Zinc sulfide is a compound made of zinc and sulfur. Platinum is a precious metal.
Salad dressing is a heterogeneous mixture of oil, vinegar, and various other ingredients.
Heterogeneous. You know this because you can see the individual pieces of the salad. An example of a food that's homogeneous would be something like bread where you can't see all the individual components.

Mixture
Fruit salad is a mixture not a compound, because you can sort the fruits.
Oil and vinegar are a mixture. After a while they will separate.
No, a Caesar salad is not a compound in the scientific sense. It is a dish made up of various ingredients, including romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing. In chemistry, a compound refers to a substance formed when two or more elements chemically combine. Thus, while a Caesar salad is a combination of ingredients, it does not qualify as a compound.
