9. Leftover such as chicken meat or fish which have been handled
according to the rules of good sanitation and food management can be
used for making bound salads.
10. Potatoes for salads should be cooked whole before peeling and cut in
order to preserve nutrients.
11. Crisp vegetables like celery, green peppers, carrots, chopped pickles,
onions and water chestnuts are used.
12. Bland ingredients like potatoes and some foods maybe marinated in
seasoned liquid such as vinaigrette before being mixed with
mayonnaise and other ingredients.
13. Fold in thick dressings gently to avoid crushing or breaking the main
ingredients. Bound salads are portioned using scoop to give height
and shape to the salad.
14. Fruit salads are often arranged, mixed or tossed of most fruits that
are delicate and easily broken. An exception is the Waldorf salad,
made of firm apples mixed with nuts, celery and mayonnaise-based
dressing.
17. Drained canned fruits well before mixing them in the salad.
Dressings for fruit salad are usually sweet, but fruit juices are used to
add tartness.
18. Observe the correct proportion of gelatin and liquid. Too much
gelatin makes a stiff, rubbery product while too little makes a soft
product that will not form the desired shape. To dissolve unflavored
gelatin, stir it in cold liquid to avoid lumping and let it stand for 5
minutes to absorb water. Then heat it until dissolved or add hot
liquid and stir until dissolved.

of liquid and the other half is cold water to lower the temperature. For
even faster setting, add crushed ice in an equal volume of cold water,
stir until the ice is melted.
20. Do not add raw pineapple and papaya to gelatin salads because these
fruits contain enzymes which dissolves gelatin. Canned fruits and
other juicy items must be well drained before adding because they will
water down the gelatin.
1. Prepare all ingredients. Wash and cut greens, fruits, vegetables, and
garnishes. Prepare cooked vegetables and mix bound and marinated salads.
Have all ingredients chilled.
2. Arrange salad plates on worktables. Line them up on trays for easy
transfer to refrigerator.
3. Place bases on all plates.
4. Arrange body of salad on all plates.
5. Garnish all salads.
6. Refrigerate until serving.
7. Do not add dressing to green salads until serving.
