Salad comes from Latin, meaning salty, which means adding salt. It turns out that salad first appeared in ancient Rome, when it was mainly seasoned with salt. In the Middle Ages, people began to make juice for it with oil and vinegar, which was the embryonic form of modern salad.

The earliest salad means that the first course is uncooked fruits and vegetables with juice. But with the development, salads have become ever-changing, such as adding seafood and meat. Now, as long as there are ingredients of vegetables or fruits and mixed juice, you can generally refer to salads.

Salads are divided into green salads and fruit salads; In addition to cold salad, there is another kind of warm salad, which refers to the salad cooked or eaten warmly. GADO·GADO in Indonesia is an example.
