Spanish term or phrase: una base de hortalizas y vegetales

una base de hortalizas y vegetales, que sirven para elaborar una ensalada completa final

How would you distinguish between hortalizas and vegetales? Garden vegetables? I understand that hortalizas here are carrots, sweetcorn, etc

"salad plants" refers to plants that are always or frequently eaten raw, e.g. lettuce. Examples of use:

ingredients made up of fresh vegetables (straight) from the kitchen garden

Explanation:
I think Margaret's is fine as an option but perhaps the word "produce" is not quite appropriate when talking about what is going into a salad.
hortaliza could suggest something fresh from a kitchen garden or allotment. There is really no straight distinction between vegetales and hortalizas, they are both synonymous. What are you going to get from the kitchen garden if not vegetables, lettuce and so on. So perhaps another way of handling it is to stress that the vegetables are from the kitchen garden.

that consists of different types of lettuce and fresh vegetables

Explanation:
No sé como comienza la oración, ofrezco esta sugerencia basándome en el comentario de más arriba. ¿Queda bien en tu contexto? Creo que la "base" aquí son la variedad de lechugas, lo propongo como una manera de abarcar todo lo que se le puede echar a una ensalada para que esté completa, no como traducción de lechuga (lettuce).

a base/bed of leafy and mixed vegetables

Explanation:
with an alternative of "leaf". Not very literal, but might apply to a bag of salad
