no direct English false friend, but English speakers order 'a salad' expecting a large main-dish portion
⚠️ La trampa
The word itself is not a false friend, but the cultural expectation is. In Italy, 'insalata' is typically a side dish ('contorno'), not a main course. Ordering 'only a salad' as your meal can surprise Italian waiters.
Para decir "no direct English false friend, but English speakers order 'a salad' expecting a large main-dish portion" en italiano:
insalata (side salad, usually) / insalatone (large salad)
"insalata" en español significa:
salad
Ejemplo
"Come contorno prendo un'insalata mista."
"As a side I'll have a mixed salad."
