salad plate

noun

First recorded in 1880–85

If salad is to be served next, put down a salad-plate in place of the dinner-plate removed.

Arrange the flowerets on a salad plate garnished with lettuce and serve with French dressing or any other desired salad dressing.

Place each tomato with this part uppermost on a salad plate garnished with lettuce.

The salad plate should be placed directly before the person served.

It should therefore be remembered that the salad plate is the next larger in size to the bread-and-butter plate.
