Salads were invented in Ancient Greece and have been constantly improved throughout the history of mankind. The fact is that the first salads could not be called real salads, as they consisted of greens and salt. Actually, the word salad came from the Greek word “salt”.
In the Middle Ages, salads could completely disappear from culinary history. It was dangerous to cook the dish, since vegetables carried a lot of different germs and bacteria, and therefore led to diseases.
