One of the "appatizer" courses of the traditional Seder meal is a green vegetable (frequently parseley, but I suppose lettuce would do) dipped in salt water. Tradition holds that the salt water represents the tears of the Hebrew slaves. This fits into one of the main purposes of the Seder ritual, to recall and to some extent relive the experience of liberation from slavery.
