I am well aware of the question. You said in response to Stefan, who
mentioned a bunch of sources with recipes, that not recipes, but _menu
listings_ count as evidence that salad was common. According to this
(your) criterion, there is some evidence that salads were at least a
common part of a _16th century_ menu [no implication re: a medieval menu
here].
