Salad isn't necessarily the first thing that comes to mind when you imagine pirates wining and dining on the high seas. While there is some truth to this, it turns out that pirates did occasionally indulge in salad, but not the lettuce-tomato-cucumber salad you might envision. The salad of choice for buccaneers was called salmagundi, a dish with 17th century English roots, and a food that sailors ate back in the day. While the average American isn't accustomed to eating turtle meat and pigeon on a regular basis, it's worth noting that salmagundi resembles the charcuterie or grazing boards that are so popular today. With this in mind, this pirate salad is a perfectly suitable dish, when made with modern ingredients.
