Consider this statement:

> 
> Salads are both tasty and delicious.
> 
> 
> 

Is there a natural way to use that construct with more than two adjectives? I can't come up with anything that sounds right to me. Two things that came to my mind were:

> 
> Salads are all three tasty, delicious, and healthy.
> 
> 
> 

* This one doesn't sound natural to me.

> 
> Salads are each tasty, delicious, healthy, and cheap.
> 
> 
> 

* I'm not sure if this is even valid English.

*If someone can come up with a better title for this question, please do (and then remove this comment). Thanks!*

Answer: 
I agree with Monica that the form "Salads are a, b, c and d" is reasonable, and with Irene that placing *All* at the beginning of the sentence works ok.

Sticking a little closer to your original "Salads are both a and b" form, substituting *at once* for *both* allows

> 
> Salads are at once a, b, c and d
> 
>

which to my ear is markedly less clumsy than the previously suggested form,

> 
> Salads are all of a, b, c and d
>

If you need to call it out explicitly (as you do with "both"), then:

> 
> Salads are all of tasty, delicious, healthy, and cheap.
> 
>

You could say "each of" instead of "all of", but not just "each" -- that would be ungrammatical the way you have it, and could lead people to believe you're talking about multiple salads instead of multiple characteristics.

You wouldn't say "all three", but you could say "all three of".

But in most cases you don't need the word at all:

> 
> Salads are tasty, delicious, healthy, and cheap.
