What does sallet mean with food?

In the context of food, the term "sallet" has two distinct meanings:

1. Salad: Sallet primarily refers to a dish consisting of raw vegetables, fruits, and sometimes other ingredients such as proteins, cheese, nuts, and dressings. These ingredients are typically tossed together to create a refreshing and flavorful dish typically served cold. Salads can vary widely in terms of ingredients and variations across regions and cultures.

2. Archaic term for salad: Historically, the term "sallet" was an older synonym for "salad" and was commonly used particularly in British cookery during the medieval and early modern periods. In contemporary English, however, the term "salad" has become far more prevalent, making "sallet" an archaic term in this context.
