Like pasta, it appears that we can also credit the ancient Italians with the idea of serving fresh mixed greens with some kind of dressing to create the salad.

The word "salad" came into the English language in the fourteenth century, from the Latin salata meaning "to make salty."

It wasn't until the twentieth century that the idea of adding meat or pasta to salads caught on.
