Sandra, it says: Buffet: 5 tipos de ensalada. No es el menú habitual de un restaurante, sino el menú especial para una cena ofrecida por una empresa británica a sus agentes en España, en un lugar muy exclusivo de Marbella.
Sandra Holt Apr 22, 2008:
María, does this come in a sentence or is it a heading?

a variety of 5 salads

If you didn't want to use "types" you could opt for "varieties" or "kinds".
Peer comment(s):

agree Rob Lunn : but I would put "a choice" instead of "a variety"

Thanks Rob, I agree with "choice" sounding better, why don't you put it as an option? I'll certainly agree with it.
agree cmwilliams (X) : agree with Rob - a choice

Yep, he should put it as an option.
