SALADS
INCLUDING DRESSINGS
Brief background
A trip through time
• Back in the early salad eating days (circa 1st century
CE), ancient Greeks and Romans gathered and layered
raw vegetables, drizzling vinegar, oil, and herbs over top
to create the world’s first salad.
Did you know that…
Benefits of Leafy Salad Greens
• Leafy green vegetables are nutrient rich because
leaves contain the light-catching, energy-converting
machinery of plants. Salad greens contain Vitamin A,
Vitamin C, beta-carotene, calcium, folate, fiber, and
phytonutrients
For your information….
 The research provides evidence that a salad a day is
an important starting point, and each additional
serving further improves nutritional status.
 Studies have shown that the U.S. population is
currently not getting enough water-soluble vitamins of
which salads are a rich source.
A ‘salad’ is a single food, or a mix of
different foods accompanied or held
Salads… together with a dressing.
There are 5 different types of

salads:
Appetizer salads
Accompaniment salads
Main course salads
Separate course salads
Dessert salads
Appetizer Salads…
Appetizer salads should be
substantial, but not filling.
Appearance is important, as
this first course sets the tone
for the rest of the meal.
Accompaniment Salads…
Accompaniment salads should
be flavorful and should balance
and complement the rest of the
meal.
A starchy salad, such as a potato or

pasta salad, should not accompany a
main entrée that also contains a
starch.
Main Course Salads…
 A main course salad should be
large enough to serve as a
whole meal.
 It should contain protein
ingredients, such as meat,
poultry, seafood, eggs, legumes,
or cheese.
 It should also contain a variety of
vegetables, greens, and/or fruits.
Separate Course Salads…
 Separate course salads
cleanse the palate after a rich
dinner and before dessert.
 This means they refresh or
stimulate a person’s appetite
for the dessert or next course.
 They are often served in
classic French meals.
Dessert Salads…
Dessert salads are
usually sweet, often
containing fruits,
sweetened gelatin, nuts,
cream, and/or whipped
cream.
Parts of a salad…
The BODY of the salad is the main ingredient
The BASE or UNDERLINER of the salad is usually a

layer of greens.
The DRESSING is a liquid or semi-liquid used to flavor,
moisten, or enrich the salad.
The GARNISH of the salad adds color and appeal, and
sometimes flavor.
Working with salad greens…
Repeatedly plunge greens into cold
water to remove impurities. Dry the
greens as thoroughly and gently as
possible after rinsing.
Tearing greens is preferred over

cutting them with a knife.
Salad dressings…
 The salad dressing is a
liquid or semi-liquid used to
flavor, moisten, or enrich the
salad.
 It should enhance or
complement the salad
ingredients, but not
overpower them.
