Salads are one of the oldest dishes that have been invented by mankind. Historians argue about when exactly the first salad recipes were created. Salad-like
dishes existed in Greece, the Roman Empire, and Egypt. Different nations probably prepared salads separately from each other.
Salads were mostly served on major holidays to fill the emperors’ table with viands. Nowadays, many appetizer salads serve the same function.
