From vegetable garnish to grandes sallets, this is an appetizing history of salads. It is also a book about changing attitudes and evolving lifestyles, as raw greens and fresh vegetables have become appreciated as healthy eating choices. What is it about a salad that has made it an essential food? Originally assembled from wild plants gathered from hillsides, they weren’t considered particularly nutritional in ancient times but they always provided a contrast in texture, taste and heat (or lack of it) to the main meal. Judith Weinraub reveals how salads were given their own place in a meal, sometimes before the main meal, sometimes as the entire meal, and sometimes as a last course, and how, over time, salads have morphed into a highly valued separate dish across the world.
