Salad, if there is any, would be treated as a vegetable accompaniment or side dish to the main course in the UK too. In fact it's often called a "side salad" in restaurants.
However... I've just remembered that in the hotel where we stayed in Portugal, we did get a salad, with fishy stuff (that might have been squid), before the main course, even when we specifically asked for no starter. The meals were delicious, but humungous in size.
