Why is it feminine?

Salada is feminine because it derives from Latin "salata" (feminine past participle of "salare," meaning "salted"), which retained its feminine gender through Romance language evolution. The -a ending in Portuguese typically signals feminine nouns, and this word preserved both the ending and grammatical gender from its Latin ancestor.
