The thing that turns sad lettuce into salad.
means A liquid or semi-liquid mixture — usually oil, vinegar, or something creamy — poured over food, especially salad, to add flavor and moisture.
from From the verb 'dress,' which once meant simply 'to make straight, prepare, or arrange' — from Old French 'dresser,' tracing back to Latin 'directus,' meaning 'straight' or 'direct.' To 'dress' food meant to prepare it properly for eating, and by extension, the sauces and seasonings used in that preparation became known as 'dressing.' The same root gave us dressing a wound, dressing in fine clothes, and dressing down a soldier — all versions of 'putting something into proper order.'
