They'll take a look at the sweeping innovations in salad technology that lead to a veritable salad boom in the early 1900's. What makes Russian Dressing Russian? Why did the federal government regulate French Dressing from the 1950's until 2022? Who were the movers and shakers in the early salad game? Toss yourself into this week's episode and learn more than you ever thought you could about salad dressing!
