All can be tricky. If you turn the sentence around to ā€œAll I need to make the salad IS a head of lettuce and a carrot.ā€ Because all = the only thing, even though the predicate is two things. But for sure as others noted your sentence has a plural subject and needs ARE.

Hello! It would be "are" because you are mentioning two things and therefore you need a verb that goes with the plural form. Also, I woould write the sentence differently: Lettuce and carrot are all I need to make salad. I hope to have helped you!

Some lettuce and a few carrots are all I need to make a good salad. Lettuce is an uncountable noun, therefore ā€œsomeā€ is the quantifier used. Carrots is a countable noun, so a number of carrots or even ā€œa carrot.ā€ I hope this helps 🄳
