Salads, unlike many other dishes, began to develop in the cooking of different nations of the world only after millennia. That is, the first salads appeared in ancient Greece. But this dish began to develop only in the XIX century A.D.
Before the development, salads were an appetizer dish for athletes. They contained only greens and onions. Even a minimal list of vegetables was not included in salad recipes.
Now it is difficult to imagine a salad consisting only of dill and parsley. In our understanding, a salad can be a hearty meal. Let’s make a modern salad with ham and vegetables.
