Conclusion
Introduction
My mother used to serve us salads with almost every possible meal of the day.
Up to this day, I still get her occasional reminders cum sermons “Eat your
greens! Your salad is there to keep you healthy!” Unfortunately, the way we had
our salads is far from what and how they are prepared nowadays. We grew up
with platter after platter of torn up lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions dressed in
mayo or her homemade thousand island dressing (by homemade, I mean,
ketchup, mayo, sugar, salt and pepper) topped with croutons! While this may
sound real appealing at first, but after consuming this on almost a daily basis, my
sisters and I started to dread meal times – thus the reason why I have developed
a dislike for salads. But, of course, the past is past, and the present offers
brighter and better things in food!
With all the healthy benefits that salads offer and the new and versatile recipes

Chapter 1: Salad Facts: History and Other
Information
It has been known that the Greeks and the Romans tossed the very first salads;
but these ancient salad lovers did not refer to this marriage of greens, fruits, oil
and other spices in the same way we do today. In fact, it has gone unnamed for
so many years; even the Roman historian Pliny the Elder referred to salads as
products from the garden that require no cooking and are ready to eat.

What Is a Salad?
Defining salad does not need thorough research and spending sleepless nights in
front of your computer nor do you need to make several trips to the library just
to get your facts straight. And while many people have been walking on the
earth believing that salads are just a bunch of tossed up lettuce, oil, salt, and
pepper, there is actually more to a salad than what one might actually think.
A salad is a type of dish that is composed of different types of food including a
variety of fruits, vegetables, cheese, cooked, cured or even raw meat, grains, and
eggs. These small pieces of foodstuff are put together by means of adding
different types of sauces or dressings.
Salads vary depending on where you come from. Some acquire ingredients that
are found or harvested locally while others source their ingredients
internationally. The abundance of fresh produce, meat, and other food products
are also the reason behind the increase in the number of salad variations or types.
