A digestive salad is a tiny salad that you are given in between the final savory plate and before the first sweet plate. It's meant to settle your stomach and clear your palette of the pungent meat to get ready for sweet and creamy.

Salad as a petite appetizer is an American phenomenon. In France, most salads are ordered as a main course and usually contain an abundance of protein such as grilled fish or smoked duck.
