Here are the period (note, period, not necessarily medieval) referances
that include salads that I could find looking through my salads-msg file.

Robert May, _The Accomplisht Cook, 4th edition, 1678

Gervase Markham's _The English Housewife_, 1615

Charles Perry translation of The Baghdad Cookery Book, 1226 C.E. which is
found in Duke Coriadoc's "Collection of Medieval and Renaissance Cookbooks".

Leafy Greens			("Joutes", Harleian MS 279, #3)
Sources found in "Take a Thousand Eggs or More", Cindy Renfrow, 1991.
  (since these greens are boiled, I'm not sure whether most would
classify this as a "salad".

"The Fruit, Herbs & Vegetables of Italy. An offering to Lucy, Countess
of Bedford", by Giacomo Castelvetro. The original is in Italian and
written in 1614 

Platina (Venice, Italy, 1475).In his "On Honest Indulgence and Good
Health"

dates it to around 1500 - this information from John Hervey's Early

text is also known as Sloane MS 1201 in the British Museum.
