How do you pronounce it?

sarada

While サラダ is the common term, the traditional Japanese equivalent of a salad is 和え物 (aemono), which consists of vegetables dressed with a savory paste.
In Japan, a サラダ often includes ingredients that Westerners would consider a main course, such as grilled chicken or fried shrimp, making it more of a complete meal than a side dish.
In Japanese, the word for salad is written in Katakana, which signals to the reader that the word is a foreign loanword rather than a native Japanese word.
