Salad is a dish that came to us from ancient Rome and Greece. The original meaning of the word salad is a savory dish. The fact is that salads were prepared from a minimum of components. Mostly greens and onions were added to salads. Accordingly, to give flavor to the salad, it was necessary to add some kind of dressing. As a dressing was salt and olive oil.
Over time, salads began to add more vegetables. But, for a long time cooks did not dare to “spoil” the dish with meat, fish and other ingredients. Only in the XVIII century began full-fledged experiments with salads.
