Why is it feminine?
Salade is feminine because it derives from the Old French "salade," which comes from the Latin "salata" (feminine noun, the past participle of "salare" meaning "to salt"), and French inherited the feminine gender from this Latin root. The feminine ending "-a" in Latin regularly became feminine "-e" in Old French, preserving the original gender.
