| | Salad |
 | | A salad is a food item generally served either prior to or after the main dish as a separate course, as a main course in itself, or as a side dish accompanying the main dish. |
 | | It is most often composed of a mixture of uncooked vegetables, built up on a base of green leafy vegetables such as one or more lettuce varieties, dandelion, spinach, or rocket. |
 | | Popular history asserts that peasants ate more salads than lords, and were the healthier for it, but in fact sallets, cooked and raw, included many ingredients that would be "gourmet" today: lovage, burnet, sorrel. |
