In addition to the references you note , Apicius (1st C-4th C AD) has recipes
for salads and dressings, so does Platina (15th C Italian) has recipes and
references and descriptions of salads and their medicinal value. In winter,
there were winter greens (chard, kale, beet tops) in spring more variation.
In every cooking manuscript or work of period that I can recall, there were
salad type recipes.
I think salads were more common than we are giving credit.
