It is believed that the country of salads is France. From this country in the XIX century came new revolutionary recipes for this dish. However, salad came to France thanks to the Apennine Peninsula. Chefs borrowed the recipes of the dish popular on the island and transferred it to their country. From there, salads began to spread around the world. In Europe, they began to invent new ways of preparing salads. The most relevant are “Caesar”, “Greek” and “Olivier”.
