VARIETY OF SALADS AND DRESSINGS
Learning objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you should be able to know the
various classifications of salads and dressing.
Types of salads
Today the variety of salads on offer seems to be greater than ever in memory.
Restaurants that once listed are no more than two three salads on their menu
now devote an entire page to category. New kinds of salads fill bin after bin the
prepared-food sections of supermarkets and delicatessen
Appetizer salads
Should stimulate the appetite. This means they must have fresh, crisp
ingredients; a tangy, flavorful dressing; and an attractive, appetizing appearance.
Proportioned salads should not be so large as to be filling, but they should be
substantial enough to serve as a complete course in themselves.
Accompaniment salads
Salads can be served with the main course: they serve the same function as other
side dishes (vegetables and starches).
Must balance and harmonize with the rest of the meal, like any other side dish.
Main-course salads
Cold salads plate has become popular on luncheon menus, especially among
nutrition-and diet-conscious diners. The appeal of these salads is in variety and
freshness of ingredients.
Should be large enough to serve as a full meal and should contain substantial
potion of protein. Meat, poultry, and seafood salads, as well as egg salad and
cheese, are popular choices.
Separate course salads

Many fine restaurants serve refreshing, light salad after main course. The
purpose is to cleanse the palate after a rich dinner and to refresh the appetite
and provide a pleasant break before dessert.
Must be very light and in no way filling. Rich heavy dressings, such as
those made with sour cream and mayonnaise should be avoided.
Dessert salads

KIT-
Are usually sweet and many contain items such as fruits, sweetened gelatin,
nuts, and cream. They are often too sweet to be served as appetizers or
accompaniments are the best served or as part of buffet or party menu.
Salads and Salad dressings
In days before modern refrigeration, the pantry was the storeroom where
food products were kept before being brought into the kitchen. Because this room
was cooler than the kitchen, it was specially suited as a work area for production
of cold food, especially aspics, chaud froids, and other elaborate buffet
preparations. In kitchens around the world, this department is often referred to
by it’s French name , garde manger(gard mawn zhay).
Because the number and variety of salads combinations is nearly endless,

it is helpful to devide salads into categories in order to understand how they are
produced. For the pantry chef, the most useful way to classify salads is by
ingredients: green salads, vegetable salads , fruit salads, and so on.
SALAD DRESSING CHARACTERISTICS
A salad dressing is an "oil in water" emulsion, where oil is the

discontinuous phase and water is the continuous phase. Salad dressing is
defined by the FDA as a semisolid emulsified food with the same ingredients and
optional ingredients as mayonnaise with the exception of the inclusion of a
cooked or partially cooked starch paste. The typical ingredients of salad dressing
are acetic acid, salt, sugar, water and vegetable oil. There are two types of salad
dressing, pourable and spoonable.
The original spoonable dressing was mayonnaise, which must contain at least
75% oil.
These two types of salad dressings vary in flavor, chemical and physical
properties (especially viscosity). The pourable dressing may either be sold in a
homogeneous phase or in two phases. The two-phase salad dressings are
separated by water and oil and will require shaking prior to use. The typical pH of
these products ranges from 3.5 to 3.9. However, "spoonable" salad dressings
contain less acid than the pourable salad dressings, causing less microbial
stability. The primary preservatives used to control microbial spoilage are sodium
benzoate and or potassium sorbate. Refrigerating the spoonable salad dressing
will also help control microbial contamination. Aseptic processing and packaging
also play a major role in the prevention of contamination. However, in most
salad dressings, microbial spoilage is not a major issue.
The production of a salad dressing requires the use of a colloid mill or a
homogenizer (low fat dressings). The colloid mill uses the shear and turbulence of
liquid passing between two surfaces that are closely spaced, to mix the
ingredients. A colloid mill is used to mix high viscous materials, while a pressure
homogenizer is used to mix lower viscous materials. The ingredients of the fluid
are thoroughly mixed by a homogenizer when it passes through an orifice at high
pressures and speeds.

KIT-
In the production of standard salad dressing, the vinegar, salt, starch and water
are heated to approximately 90C. Once a starch paste has formed, this mixture is
cooled and then eggs, sugar, spices and oil are added. This mixture is then
passed through the colloid mill prior to packaging
Formulations for Pourable Dressings of Differnt Fat contents:
Pourable dressings have less oil than spoonable dressings and generally contain
xanthan gum as a replacement for oil in Mayonnaise and starch in Salad
Dressing. Some typical formulations are tabulated below.

Xanthan gum (%) 0.3 0.3 0.3

Spices are added to taste depending on the type of dressing.
Standards for a Good Salad
The following are the ideal qualities of a salad:

1. The salad must be chosen to balance the flavor of other dishes with which
it is served. A light salad, such as tossed green vegetables with French
dressing, goes well with a heavy main dish such as steak.
2. Ingredients must be distinct and neatly cut, neither messy in appearance
nor mushy in texture.
3. Colors must be well combined to avoid being dull and monotonous, but not
over decorated. Carrots, raisins, lettuce leaves, and potatoes make a
pleasing color combination.
4. There must be variation in texture. The smooth texture of diced boiled
potatoes can be made more interesting when bits of celery or chopped nuts
are added. Texture adds interest and enjoyment as varied sensations
appeal to the palate during the meal.
5. Flavor must be well balanced, zestful or piquant, and not too strong nor
bland.
6. The dressing must complement the body and flavor of the salad. For
example, French dressing goes well with green vegetables.
7. Ingredients must be of high quality. Overripe fruits, wilted vegetables with
traces of insect infestation, or rancid dressings do not make good salads.
KIT-
In general, salad dressings are based on either vegetable oils, such as olive,
groundnut, sunflower, grape seed, sesame seed, walnut and hazelnut, most of
which have their own particular flavours but where pride of place goes to the
various qualities of olive oil, or various creams and dairy products such as single,
double or sour cream, yogurt, quark, and creme fraiche; and these oils or creams
are usually supplemented by an acid, either a vinegar such as cider, sherry, malt,
wine, both red and white, raspberry and tarragon, or the juice of citrus fruits
such as lemon or lime. All these acids have the qualities of modifying
the qualities of oil or cream, adding contrasting sharpness and assisting the
digestion. The wide range of added seasonings and flavourings include sugar;
honey; salt; pepper; paprika; cayenne; Tabasco; mustards, dry and made;
anchovies; capers; gherkins; fresh cut herbs such as parsley, basil, dill, tarragon,
chervil; sieved hard-boiled eggs; onion; chives; garlic; and sauces such as
mayonnaise, soya and Worcestershire. As with the salads themselves, the
possible combinations of the above ingredients can give unlimited scope to the
preparation of dressings and thus there are a few worthwhile points to bear in
mind when preparing them:

KIT-
Attention needs paying to the overall balance and emphasis of ingredients and
their suitability to the salad with which they are used. A good dressing will
enhance and add quality and contrast to the salad. A poorly-balanced one will
ruin it.
By and large strong-flavoured salad ingredients can support well-flavoured

dressings whereas the more delicate or bland items will benefit more often than
not from dressings of a more subtle quality but with a single identifiable flavour.
All salad dressings need a final mixing before being used, especially oil-based
ones where their emulsified properties tend to separate out if left for any length of
time.
The number of dressings in the standard repertoire is extensive; the following

represented as a cross-section of the different types and popular ones. Many of
these dressings are also suitable as dips for Crudites, Fondues, Goujonettes of
deep-fried fish or poultry.

KIT-
Techniques in Salad Preparation
The following are suggested techniques in salad preparation:
1. Choose the salad to be prepared according to intended use. As an
appetizer, a salad should be light and appealing. As a main dish, it should
have a pleasing combination of protein items such as chicken, meat, fish or
shellfish, and vegetables.
2. Use the proper tools in salad preparation. These include sharp knives,
chopping boards, measuring equipment, and the like.
3. Set a high standard of specification for salad ingredients. For example,
there is a big difference between salad tomatoes and cooking tomatoes.
Whereas salad tomatoes need to be firm and ripe, without any skin defects
or blemishes, cooking tomatoes need not have these characteristics to serve
their purpose.
4. Wash ingredients thoroughly. Dry leaves with clean cloth or paper towels,
or arrange on a colander to remove excess water. Drops of water clinging to
vegetable leaves or syrup from improperly drained canned fruits will dilute
the dressing and reduce the flavor of the salad. This will also break the
emulsion (as in mayonnaise, for example), making the salad watery.
5. Cut up ingredients in uniform sizes. Make each ingredient identifiable or
distinct from the others.
6. Measure ingredients accurately to control the quality and number of
portions.
7. Chill salads that are intended to be served cold for at least two hours before
service. For greens, add the dressing just before service to avoid wilting.

KIT-
8. Arrange salads neatly on appropriate containers. Garnish but do not over
decorate by using too many varied colors and shapes. Simple, natural
arrangements are always appetizing.
9. To improve texture, items such as croutons, nuts, or crisp vegetables may
be used.
10. Be sure to prepare salads under clean and sanitary conditions because
most salads are served raw, and there is no other means of killing bacteria
that may be present in the food or that may have been introduced during
the preparation.

STORE SALADS AND DRESSINGS
Learning objectives: After reading this information sheet, you should be able to
know the exact techniques in storing appetizers and salads.
Salads and Salad dressings

In days before modern refrigeration, the pantry was the storeroom where food
products were kept before being brought into the kitchen. Because this room was
cooler than the kitchen, it was specially suited as a work area for production of
cold food, especially aspics, chaud froids, and other elaborate buffet
preparations. In kitchens around the world, this department is often referred to
by it’s French name , garde manger(gard mawn zhay).
Because the number and variety of salads combinations is nearly endless,

it is helpful to devide salads into categories in order to understand how they are
produced. For the pantry chef, the most useful way to classify salads is by
ingredients: green salads, vegetable salads , fruit salads, and so on.
TIPS ON HOW TO STORE SALADS and DRESSINGS
1. Consider the food and how it is typically stored. Think about how a certain
food is usually kept before making any decisions. The National Center for
Home Food Preservation cautions against freezing leafy vegetables, salad
dressings, custards and jellies, among other things. Store perishable foods
only in the refrigerator if they do not freeze well. Many recipes mention if
partially prepared foods can be frozen and at what point during preparation
that can be done.
2. Package food for storage. Seal foods tightly to avoid condensation or freezer
burn. The more tightly wrapped an item is, the better it will cook or reheat
KIT-
after cold storage. For example, cover an unbaked pie in plastic wrap. Squeeze
air out of a storage bag before zipping it shut. Place small hors d'oeuvres in an
airtight container. Stack them in rows and separate each row with a sheet of
parchment paper to avoid sticking.
3. Label the food. Label food packaging with a dark marker, especially if the food
is not visible through the storage material. Apply labels or pieces of masking
tape to act as labels if writing on the storage material is not an option.
4. Give the food reasonable space. Provide an appropriate amount of space

around each food item. The last thing any cook wants is to destroy or disfigure
an item in storage.
5. Allow proper time for defrosting and cooking after storage. Give food the
necessary time to thaw, defrost or warm before finishing its preparation. Do
not blow it in the home stretch after all the time and effort put into storing the
item well. Budget time wisely and remember to plan for these required
intermediate times.

ANSWER KEY 4.4.1
A. Consider the food and how it is typically stored. Think about how a certain
food is usually kept before making any decisions. The National Center for
Home Food Preservation cautions against freezing leafy vegetables, salad
dressings, custards and jellies, among other things. Store perishable foods
only in the refrigerator if they do not freeze well. Many recipes mention if
partially prepared foods can be frozen and at what point during preparation
that can be done.
B. Package food for storage. Seal foods tightly to avoid condensation or freezer
burn. The more tightly wrapped an item is, the better it will cook or reheat
after cold storage. For example, cover an unbaked pie in plastic wrap. Squeeze
air out of a storage bag before zipping it shut. Place small hors d'oeuvres in an
airtight container. Stack them in rows and separate each row with a sheet of
parchment paper to avoid sticking.
C. Label the food. Label food packaging with a dark marker, especially if the food
is not visible through the storage material. Apply labels or pieces of masking
tape to act as labels if writing on the storage material is not an option.
D. Give the food reasonable space. Provide an appropriate amount of space

around each food item. The last thing any cook wants is to destroy or disfigure
an item in storage.
E. Allow proper time for defrosting and cooking after storage. Give food the
necessary time to thaw, defrost or warm before finishing its preparation. Do
not blow it in the home stretch after all the time and effort put into storing the
item well. Budget time wisely and remember to plan for these required
intermediate times.
