Salad bowl questions

[Jean in Newcastle]

What do you serve your salad in? Is it pretty? Is it the same thing that you store leftover salad in? What do you store your leftover salad in? What do you do if there are leftover tomato pieces in the salad?

We do whole grape tomatoes so no worry with the leftovers. I usually use a glass bowl to serve and put in a ziploc after we're done.

I always make prepare my salad in my wood chopping bowl. Similar to this one: http://hollandbowlmill.com/xcart/product.php?productid=162&cat=0&page=1

 

I store my salad in my glass snapware. Sometimes, if the fridge is crowded I will put it in a ziploc bag. Leftover tomato bits have never been an issue.

I have a crystal Princess House salad bowl. :-)

 

I'll make the salad--everything except tomatoes--in a big Tupperware bowl, take out just what will fit in the Princess House bowl, add the tomatoes, toss with the salad dressing (no bottles or bowls of salad dressing on the table; we all get the same kind. Life is like that. :D ), and serve. Whatever isn't eaten from the crystal bowl gets tossed; the rest is stored in the Tupperware.

 

And FTR, I don't serve salad as a first course. I serve it with everything else, on cute crescent-shaped plates that were designed for salad. They snug right up to the dinner plate. :)

I use a china or stoneware bowl. I prefer wood, but have an even stronger preference for putting everything into the dishwasher :001_smile:. I try to avoid having left over salad.

 

I make the dressing in the bottom of a large Tupperware bowl and put the salad over it when I'm travelling somewhere. Then I toss it when I get there, and serve it in something nicer.

I make and put salad in individual salad bowls. I store the veggies in the store wrapping/bags in the veggie drawer of the refrigerator.

I serve it in a wide, shallow Polish pottery bowl. I pick out any wet ingredients like sliced tomatoes or cucumber, put them in a little rubbermaid and put the salad in a ziploc.

I wash and store lettuce in my OXO salad spinner. I cut up the veg and store each in a separate container. I put the lettuce in individual bowls and add the veg each person likes.

I like to serve salad in glass or pottery. We usually mix the dressing right in the bowl, so I like something that is easy to get the oil out of.

I love my Polish pottery salad bowl. Alas, we outgrew it -- too many people eating salads now, so I've moved on to a larger glass bowl. I've got to keep my eye out for an upgrade.

Tee hee, there is no leftover salad. I require that it all be eaten, since we serve it with the dressing already on. Luckily for me, my oldest son is turning into the human garbage can and he loves salad, so I can usually convince him to eat any remainders.

 

I just posted three times on a salad thread. LOL, that's got to be getting close to my WTM record. We eat a lot of salads, and I have a love-hate relationship with them. Love to eat them, hate chopping the veggies. If I have a nice Buttercrunch head, I will often serve that with just some chopped onions and a homemade vinaigrette. Ah, in another month or so, it will be time to start planting again! Right now, I'm relying on the farmers' market.
