herd salad
herb salad


Explanation:
I think this may be a misprint for herb salad and feta is a type of cheese - we use the expression in UK English. I don't really know what a herb salad would be though so only low confidence.

neutral  Sarah Ponting: the link says "shepherd's salad", so in that case not only the "shep", but also the apostrophe and the "s" have been omitted. Doesn't seem terribly likely.

  -> mine is juest a guess. Sometimes it is written as shepherd's salad and sometimes shepherd salad depending on the knowledge of english of the writer.

Sorry, there are 89000 search result for herb salad and only nine for herd salad, so it is probably a misprint.

disagree  Sarah Ponting: You can find plenty of typos on the Web if you look, e.g. your first reference should read "mixed leaf and herb salad"!
8 mins

disagree  cmwilliams (X): It's just a typo for herb. If you look on page 2 of your last reference, you'll find that they also use herb salad and mixed herb salad.

disagree  Catherine Bolton: Must be tough chewing that fresh herd! ;-)
