PLATING AND

PRESENTING
SALAD AND
DRESSING
• 1. Choose the bowl or plate for the salad.
It should be wide spaced big enough to
hold both the base and the salad
ingredients, and it should be able to
enhance the appearance of the salad and
not compete with it.
• 2. Choose fresh leafy green as base. It
should be airy piled up.
• 3. You may line it up with attractively
colored tomatoes and or chips and nuts.
Pile up the greens well so they stick out
nicely.
• 4. In your choice of salad
ingredients, consider their color
combination and cut each
ingredient well, preferably with
attractive designs.
• 5. The dressing should be
drizzled on the sides and atop
the pile of salad ingredients.
• 6. Carefully scoop out the salad
into your plate.
SAFE AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES
IN SALAD PREPARATION
1. Submerge all the salad ingredients
in cold water deep enough for them
to float freely to help loosen dirt.
Wash them thoroughly. Clean
greens should be lifted using a
spider to allow the water to drain
off.
2. Maintain the crispiness of salad
ingredients by keeping them well
chilled.
• 3. Dressings containing egg
and dairy products should be
refrigerated or stored below 41
F.
• 4. To prevent the greens and
other ingredients from wilting,
chill salad plates before
plating.
• 5. Ready to eat food like salad
should be prepared using
gloves or utensils.
•6. Mix the salad and
dressing before serving.
•7. Use just enough
dressing into salads.
Overdressed salads will
produce a soggy pile of
wilted greens.
SAFETY AND HYGIENIC
PRACTICES IN STORING
SALAD AND DRESSING
• Green Salads are plated in a cold
plate. Avoid plating salads more than
an hour or two before service.
Garnish that is tossed should be
added at serving time.
• Refrigerate salads before serving
time.
• Dressing is added immediately before
serving, or serves it on the side.
• Refrigerate salads until
serving. Do not hold more
than a few hours, or the
salads will sag. Holding boxes
should have high humidity.
•  Do not add dressing to
green salads until serving, or
they will sag.
