Drinking Juice Squeezed onto a Salad on Shabbat - Ish Tsadik
Question:
Is it permitted to drink juice that was squeezed onto a salad on Shabbat and remained in the bowl after the meal was finished?
Answer

Juice that remains in the bowl is permitted for drinking. Since squeezing directly onto a salad is permitted, the leftover liquid is permitted for drinking initially (L’chatchila). This is because we view these liquids as “food” rather than “drink,” as they were added directly into “food.” Therefore, even if they end up separate, they retain their status as food.
