How to prepare Salad Dressings
Ingredients:
Procedures:
The most basic formula for making salad vinaigrette is one part vinegar or
other acid mixed with three to four parts oil. For instance, you could use one
tablespoon of cider vinegar and three tablespoons of olive oil. Or you could make a
big batch of dressing and use 1/4 cup of vinegar mixed with 3/4 cups olive oil. Or
5
use ounces, or milliliters, or the side of a jam jar — this a ratio, so you can use the
means of measuring the ingredients that you prefer.
Ingredients:
3/4 to 1 cup olive oil, extra-virgin
olive oil, or any good-tasting oil
1/4 cup good-tasting vinegar or
lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional extras (choose 1 or 2, to
taste): 1 minced shallot, 1 minced
or grated garlic clove, 1/2 to 1 Source: Vinaigrette. September 11, 2020. Accessed January 29,
2021. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vinaigrette.jpg
teaspoon grainy mustard, 1 to 2
tablespoons minced herbs, 1 to 2
tablespoons finely grated cheese, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon honey
Procedures:
1. Measure all ingredients into a bowl, blender, or jar.
2. Combine the vinaigrette: If using a bowl, use a fork or whisk to rapidly
blend the vinaigrette together. If using a jar, top with the lid and shake
until the vinaigrette is combined. If using a blender, blend until the
vinaigrette is thoroughly combined.
3. Taste the vinaigrette: Dip a leaf of salad into the vinaigrette and give it
a taste; tasting the dressing with the greens gives you a better idea of
how the vinaigrette will taste with a salad than if you taste it on its own.
4. Adjust the taste: Add more olive oil for a more mellow flavor, more
vinegar or lemon juice for more tartness, and more of any of the other
ingredients to taste. Whisk, shake, or blend to combine.
5. Use the vinaigrette: For a side salad for 2 to 4, start with a tablespoon
of dressing, toss, and continue adding until the greens are evenly coated
and look glossy. Serve immediately.
6. Store the vinaigrette: Transfer leftover vinaigrette to a jar or other
container with a lid (if it's not already in a jar). If the vinaigrette contains
any fresh ingredients, like lemon juice or minced shallots, store it in the
fridge. Vinaigrettes will keep for 3 to 5 days; shake to recombine the
vinaigrette before using.
6
Ingredients:
3/4 cup
extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup
balsamic vinegar
Salt
Fresh-ground pepper
Procedures:
1. Combine the olive oil and balsamic in a Jam Jar or other container with
a good-sealing lid. Add a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of black
pepper. Screw on the lid and shake vigorously. Dip a piece of lettuce into
the vinaigrette and taste. Adjust the salt, pepper, or the proportion of oil
and vinegar to taste.
2. This vinaigrette will keep on the counter for several weeks (refrigerate if
you added any fresh ingredients). The oil and vinegar will separate a few
minutes after shaking — shake to recombine before dressing your salad.
3. RECIPE NOTES
4. Making more or less vinaigrette: Stick to a rough ratio of 3 parts oil to 1
part vinegar, and scale up or down accordingly. Smaller amounts are
easily whisked together in a small bowl and poured immediately over the
salad.

Procedures:
1. Measure the dry seasonings into a bowl, add the vinegar or lemon juice,
and dissolve them.
2. Add the oil, mix well, and transfer to a jar. Shake well.
3. Just before serving shake again to blend thoroughly.
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 in serving time.
Refrigerate salads before serving time.
Dressing should be 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 humidity.
Do not add dressing to green salads until serving, or they will sag.

Principles and Hygienic practices in preparing salad
Washing all salad vegetables is important to ensure food safety. Washing is
done in the following manner:
1. Prepare a detergent in a bowl of tap water. Dissolve very well 5g (litter) of
powdered or liquid detergent in 4L (1gallon) of water. Make sure there is
no undissolve powder.
2. Soak the vegetable in the solution for about 1 minute. Ingredients that
have to peeled should be washed too.
3. Gently wash vegetables and pay special attention to the stems and
leaves.
4. Rinse the vegetables in tap water several times to ensure that there is no
remaining detergent or soap.
5. The vegetables may further be sanitized in a mild solution of potassium
per manganate or hypochlorite by soaking for about a minute, then
rinsing them.
6. Spin-dry the vegetables in a salad spinner, or dry by putting them on a
clean cloth or disposable paper. Make sure that the greens are dry when
combining with the dressing because wet greens will prevent the dressing
from coating the leaves. This makes the dressing very watery and
tasteless and reduces the crispness of the salad.
Salads are a great way to work fresh fruits and veggies into your diet, but it
can be difficult to ensure they’ll stay fresh if you make them in advance.
Some tips below might be helpful to know when we are planning to make a
vegetable salad.
1. Chop and wash the lettuce and other leafy greens
Chop off the roots of leaf lettuce and remove the core of the iceberg
lettuce. Fill a bowl with cool water and let the leaves soak for about ten
minutes, then remove them. If the water appears dirty, pour it down the
drain and refill the bowl to repeat the process until the water comes
away clean. Rinse the leaves off and lay them on a clean paper towel.
2. Dry the leaves with a salad spinner.
Place the leaves inside the spinner’s strainer basket and put the lid on
securely. Run the spinner for 15-20 seconds to remove excess water.
3. Roll your lettuce in a tea towel if you don’t have a salad spinner.
Open the towel and spread out the wet leaves on top. Roll up the towel
with the leaves inside, pat it gently, and unroll it to remove the dry
leaves.

Many vegetables, like tomatoes and cucumbers, can be rinsed under
running water and dried with clean paper towels. Some, like carrots, may
need to be scrubbed with a vegetable brush or peeled with a vegetable
peeler to remove any dirt caked into the outer crevices of the skin.
5. Assemble the salad in a bowl
Place heavier vegetables, like carrots and cucumbers, at the bottom of
the bowl, and lay the lettuce and other leafy greens on top. Toss it gently,
but don’t put the dressing on the salad, as this will make the leaves limp.
6. Wait to add dressing until right before you eat the salad
Store any dressing in a separate container in the refrigerator. Adding it
too soon will make the leaves limp and soggy.
7. Place a clean, dry paper towel on top of the bowl
Lay it flat across the top of the leaves, or fold it for a smaller bowl. The
towel will absorb water and condensation, keeping the leaves from
getting soggy.
8. Layer paper towels if your salad has veggies with high water content
Take extra measures if your salad has vegetables like tomatoes and
cucumbers, which have high water concentration and could make your
leaves prematurely soggy. Lay some of your salad in the bowl and lay a
paper towel on top. Spread out more salad on top of that and lay another
sheet of paper towel over that. You can repeat this for two to four layers,
but make sure that a paper towel rests on top. Other vegetables with
high water content include celery, radishes, zucchini, squash, and bell
peppers.
9. Seal the container with a lid, plastic wrap, or both
Spread a tight layer of plastic cling wrap on top of the bowl to keep the
air from getting in and spoiling the leaves. If the bowl has a lid, put that
on top of the plastic wrap for an extra layer of protection.

3. In assembling the salad, the heavier vegetables like carrots and
cucumbers, at the bottom of the bowl, and lay the lettuce and other
leafy greens on top.
4. For green salads, we should not add the dressing right away
because adding it too soon will make the leaves limp and soggy.
5. Fresh dressing is simple oil and vinegar dressing is called
temporary emulsion because the two liquids always separate after
being shaken.
6. We should not rinse the vegetables in tap water several times to
ensure that no more detergent or soap remains.
7. Salads are only used as main dishes.
8. The quality of the salad can be no better than it ingredients. Quality
focuses on freshness, not only in purchasing but also in
preparation.
9. Dressings should have well balanced flavor with a pleasant tartness
and should harmonize and complement the salad which they are
served.
10. Cooked salad dressing is similar with appearance to mayonnaise,
but it has a tarter flavor, while mayonnaise is richer and milder.
Direction: Using the space provide, create your own basic mayonnaise
recipe.
