An article yesterday claimed the next big thing in salads is Jewish. I may be a pedant but I'm not so sure...

An article yesterday claimed the next big thing in salads is Jewish. I may be a pedant but I'm not so sure...
June 22, 2017 16:48Hannah Betts recently wrote in theTimes about how British salads are a much-changed dish.
A pull-quote (a quote pulled out of main text and flagged up in bigger text) declared that: "fashion forecasters predict Jewish salads will be autumn's big hit".
The idea of a pull-quote is to draw you into the article. It worked. My first thought - "What on earth is a Jewish salad?".
Ashkenazi Jews are hardly trail blazers when it comes to healthy salads. A few lettuce leaves, cucumber slices and a hard-boiled egg drizzled with salad cream were about as good as it got at my Grandma's when I was growing up.
