How to Keep a Salad COLD

When you make large bowls of potato salad or any other kind

of salad that has to be kept cold, here's a neat tip.

Take a small SEALABLE tupperware type bowl (cereal bowl size)

fill it with water, seal and freeze.

Now put it in the bottom of bowl you are going to serve the potato

salad in. Then pile potato salad on top and it will keep

the salad cold and safe to eat.

You can put the salad bowl into another larger bowl that is filled with crushed ice.

How to Make a Salad Look BIGGER

Here is a serving trick. When you have a big bowl and not really enough salad

to make a really full looking bowl take a dinner plate (or what ever size will

fit in the bottom of the bowl) invert the plate in the bottom of the bowl and pile

the salad on top of that. The result will be a full bowl of salad with a nicely

rounded top.

How to Make a Tossed Salad the day before and keep it FRESH

This is ideal if you are serving a big group and don't have the time

to make a fresh salad. Make the salad the day before and then place

the salad into buckets with lids or big bowl and completely cover the

salad with water. Store in the fridge. Drain well before serving.

Salad will be fresh and crisp the next day.
