Etymology
Salad comes from the old Latin sal meaning 'salt' and from salata meaning 'salted'. People used to sprinkle salt on raw greens and herbs, so a salad was a 'salted' mix of plants, which explains why today a salad is a cold mixture of small pieces of vegetables often served with a dressing.
