This riddle asks: What gets “dressed” but never wears clothes?
The answer is: a salad.
A salad can be “dressed” with salad dressing, such as vinaigrette, ranch, or another sauce. But of course, it never wears clothes.
The joke depends on the double meaning of the word “dressed.” When people hear the word, they usually think of putting on clothing. In the kitchen, however, “dressing” a salad means adding a sauce or seasoning.
That simple wordplay makes the answer fit perfectly. Once you think about food instead of clothing, the riddle becomes easy to solve.
