To sign "salad," form both hands into curved, open shapes with your fingers spread apart, similar to a loose claw handshape. Position them in front of your torso with your palms facing up and slightly inward. Move your hands in alternating upward, circular arcs. This movement perfectly mimics the action of tossing fresh greens in a bowl. Repeat the tossing motion a couple of times.
Sign "I," "eat," "salad," and "noon." When signing "salad," make sure to use the alternating tossing motion to clearly show the action of mixing the greens.
