The first salads began to be prepared during the Roman Empire. Back then, slave labor and constant feasts flourished every day.
For long, constant feasts, it was necessary to constantly prepare dishes for the tables of the elite of society. As a rule, there were dietary dishes in addition to fatty
ones. Often such dishes were prepared from herbs and vegetables. The sauce was made of a honey mixture, salt and vinegar.
Salad got its name because it was a rather salty dish. However, later they began to cook and sweet fruit salads.
