When do we serve salad?

There's no single "right" answer to when to serve salad! It really depends on your preference and the specific meal. Here's a breakdown of common scenarios:

Traditional Settings:

* As a starter: This is the most common approach, especially in formal dining. It's light and refreshing, helping to whet the appetite.

* As a side dish: Salad often accompanies main courses like grilled meats, fish, or pasta. It provides contrasting textures and flavors.

Casual Settings:

* Anytime! Salad can be a complete meal on its own, a light lunch, a healthy snack, or a refreshing side to heavier dishes.

Other Considerations:

* Type of salad: A simple green salad is often served before the main course, while a heartier salad with protein and heavier ingredients might be more suitable as a meal.

* Cultural norms: Some cultures prefer salad at the beginning of a meal, while others enjoy it after the main course.

* Personal preference: Ultimately, it's up to you! Serve the salad whenever it best suits your taste and the occasion.
