Plan to have all ingredients in

hours before making the salad. A
good way is to wash fruit, vege
tables and lettuce when you buy or
bring them in from the garden.
Then they w ill be ready for use nt
any time.
Thq bowl and plates on which a
salad is served also should be well
chilled to increase palatability.
Salad dressing is tossed into a

Keep colored sheets away from
direct sunlight. Hang them in the
shade of a tree when possible.
