Salad is a balanced serving of food, usually made with vegetables and other ingredients in a loose mixture. The healthiest salads are those with leafy vegetables although many variations could include beans, meats and eggs. Salads are usually served with a dressing of some sort, a sauce that complements the flavor.
History and specifics[]
In the 2260s decade, Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott shared a traditional recipe with Nurse Christine Chapel for a tomato and green onion salad, with a dressing fashioned from vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and mustard, usually served alongside colcannon or chicken stovies. Scotty let her adapt the salad for the USS Enterprise's food processors so long as she'd also do the same for haggis. (TOS reference: Official Cooking Manual)
In 2268, Chapel lost some weight after going on a diet which included eating a lot of salads. (TOS novel: Cloak)
