5. Salad
Salads are some of the most popular dishes in the world because vegetables have been an important part of the human diet for thousands of years.
Salads are nutritious, simple to prepare, and versatile, allowing you to make the most of your fresh produce. The only limitation to this dish is the availability of specific ingredients and the chef’s creativity.
The first recorded instances of salad dishes can be traced back to Roman times. This is where they get their name as well. “Salad” is derived from the word “salt” because, back then, salads featured a salt-based dressing.
But salad-type dishes have been popular throughout history in all the continents, even if they may look quite different in other parts of the world.
