Why is it feminine?

Ensaladas is feminine because it derives from Latin "insalata" (the past participle of "insalare," meaning "to salt"), which carried the feminine gender of Latin "-ata" endings that typically produced feminine nouns in Romance languages. This Latin feminine form was preserved as Spanish evolved, making "ensalada" inherently feminine despite having no obvious semantic reason for its gender.
