What is a salad? • Salads are generally thought of as green leafy vegetables with a dressing of some sort. • The history of salads as we know them today goes back to ancient Greek and Roman times. • The name “salad” comes from the Latin word “sal” meaning salt, because salt was a main ingredient in the dressing. • Today, salads can be hot or cold, made with vegetables, fruits, pastas or any combination or the three.
