The sample space for all possible salads can be determined by multiplying the number of choices for each category: lettuce, toppings, and dressing.
Number of lettuce choices: 3 (romaine, bibb, endive)
Number of toppings choices: 4 (shredded carrots, beets, red peppers, broccoli bites)
Number of dressing choices: 5 (oil and vinegar, French, ranch, Italian, Russian)
Therefore, the sample space = 3 (lettuce choices) * 4 (toppings choices) * 5 (dressing choices) = 60 possible salads.
