appetizer,
Mediterranean Salad
This Mediterranean Salad is a take on fattoush salad, which usually has fried pita chips on top but here I skipped them in order to make this salad wheat free. I also did not use any vinegar in the dressing.
Did you know?
The word salad comes from the ancient word "sel" for salt. It then evolved to "salata", meaning a salted herb, because raw veggetables were seasoned with oil, vinegar, and lots of salt.
There are different types of salads served at different points during a meal:
- Appetizer salads light, smaller-portion salads served as the first course of the meal.
- Side salads to accompany the main course.
- Main course salads usually contain meat, fish, eggs, legumes, or cheese.
- Dessert salads sweet versions containing fruit, gelatin, sweeteners or whipped cream.
