All about English Salad
Best Recipes: Melon Mint Splash SmoothieA salad is a food item generally served either before or after the main dish as a separate course, as a main course in itself, or as a side dish accompanying the main dish. The word "salad" comes from the French salade of the same meaning, from the Latin salata, "salty", from sal, "salt". (See also sauce, salsa, sausage.)
Salad also commonly
refers to a blended food item- often
meat, seafood or eggs blended with mayonnaise, finely chopped
vegetables and seasonings- which can be served as part of a green salad,
but is often used as a sandwich filling. Salads of this kind
include egg, chicken, tuna, shrimp, and ham salad.
