Salads, as we know them today, have a long and varied history dating back to antiquity.
The word “Salad” comes from the Latin word “salata”, which translates as “salty”. Already in ancient times, salads were popular in ancient Rome and Greece.
Romans preferred to combine fresh vegetables with various sauces, often with the addition of oil and vinegar. Ancient Greeks also used various mixtures of fresh vegetables and herbs, which largely determined the traditions of future salads.
With the advent of the Middle Ages, the fashion for salads subsided a bit, and culinary traditions shifted towards more hearty and meaty dishes. However, at this time, the number of recipes with green and root vegetables continued to grow.
