A salad is a dish composed of green or succulent vegetables, seasoned with herbs, salt and pepper, oil, and lemon juice or vinegar. From the literature of ancient times we learn that lettuce and cress occupied a most prominent place among the dinner salads. The Hebrews ate them without dressing, simply dipping each leaf in a little salt. The Greeks, however, used oil and honey, while the Romans served lettuce with hard-boiled eggs, mixed with oil and spice, making a salad much more to the liking of the present generation.
