A salad is a dish consisting of small pieces of food, which may be mixed with a sauce or salad dressing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=salad )〕 Salads can incorporate a variety of foods including vegetables, fruits, cheese, cooked meat, eggs and grains. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens; they are common enough that the word ''salad'' alone often refers specifically to garden salads. Other types include bean salad, tuna salad, fattoush, Greek salad, and somen salad. The sauce used to a flavor a salad is commonly called a salad dressing; well-known types include ranch, Thousand Island, and vinaigrette. Most salads are served cold, although some, such as south German potato salad, are served warm. Some consider the warmth of a dish a factor that excludes it from the salad category calling the warm mixture a casserole, a sandwich topping or more specifically, name it for the ingredients which comprise it. Salads may be served at any point during a meal, such as: *Appetizer salads, light salads to stimulate the appetite as the first course of the meal. *Side salads, to accompany the main course as a side dish. *Main course salads, usually containing a portion of heartier fare, such as chicken breast or slices of beef. *Dessert salads, sweet versions often containing fruit, gelatin and/or whipped cream. ==Etymology== The word "salad" comes from the French ''salade'' of the same meaning, from the Latin ''salata'' (salty), from ''sal'' (salt). In English, the word first appears as "salad" or "sallet" in the 14th century. Salt is associated with salad because vegetables were seasoned with brine or salty oil-and-vinegar dressings during Roman times. The phrase "salad days", meaning a "time of youthful inexperience" (on notion of "green"), is first recorded by Shakespeare in 1606, while the use of salad bar first appeared in American English in 1976.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「salad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
