PERFORM MISE EN PLACE SALADS AND DRESSINGS
Objectives: At the end of the training period, the trainees were able
1. To explain salad origin and parts of salads;
2. To identify tools, equipment and utensils used in Mise en Place;
3. To prepare salad dressings and create various salads using different dressings
with different ingredients, according to the set standards in the culinary kitchen.
Introduction
The first salads were simply greens dipped in salt. In fact, the word salad comes
from a Latin word meaning “salted.” Roman dinners often had a separate salad course
of raw greens with a dressing.
Salads vanished from the European diet for a thousand years or more but
reappeared in the seventeenth century. At one time, it was not unusual to include flowers
such as nasturtiums, marigolds, rose petals, and violets in salads. But though it becomes
common in Europe, salad was seldom the focus of interest for either the cook or the diner.
It was not until the salad crossed the ocean to America that it came into its own.
One true claim to fame of the America cook is ingenuity in the preparation of salads.
We have gone far beyond the simple salted greens of the past to vegetables of very
species, shape, and flavor, and to meats, fish, fruits, cheese, and eggs. We have moved

the salad all over the menu, from appetizer to accompaniment to entrée to dessert to meal-
in-itself. And we have taken it from obscurity to stardom. Many a salad is a work of art.
SALADS are dishes that are almost always served cold, usually accompanied by a
cold dressing made of oil, vinegar, special flavorings, and often eggs. It usually takes off
from a leafy green base and is likely to be piquant in flavor.
Salad is a combination of vegetables, fruits and other ingredients served with a dressing.
Salad are easy to make and require little, with any special equipment. A basic
understanding of tools use in preparation will help achieve better results.
FOUR PARTS TO THE STRUCTURE OF TYPICAL SALAD

1. Base or Underliner: usually a leafy green such as lettuce cup or a fine layer of
shredded lettuce.
2. Body: the major ingredient or mixture of ingredients.
3. Dressing: sometimes part of the salad, more often not, but always planned to be
compatible with it.

TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, UTENSILS NEEDED IN PREPARING SALADS.
1. Knives – good quality knives with sharp, sturdy
stainless steel blades and with handles that securely
attached and that feel perfectly comfortable in your
hand.
2. Cutting boards – choices of cutting boards are
the wooden or blocks and acrylic cutting boards. When
preparing a recipe that contains both meat (or poultry or
seafood) and vegetables requiring cutting, use one
board exclusively the vegetables and the other
exclusively for the raw meat to avoid cross-
contamination.
3. Peelers - is a kitchen tool consisting of a slotted
metal blade attached to a handle, that is used to remove
the outer skin or peel of certain vegetables,
frequently potatoes and carrots, and fruits such
as apples, pears.

4. Citrus zesters - A kitchen zester is approximately
four inches long, with a handle and a curved metal
end, the top of which is perforated with a row of round
holes with sharpened rims. To operate, the zester is
pressed with moderate force against the fruit and
drawn across its peel. The rims cut the zest from
the pith underneath.
5. Grater/Shredder - A grater (also known as
a shredder) is a kitchen utensil used to grate foods
into fine pieces. It was invented by François Boullier

PERFORM MISE EN PLACE SALADS AND DRESSINGS
Objectives: At the end of the training period, the trainees were able
1. To classify salads according to their functions in the meal; and
2. To follow the preparation of salads considering the functions of each classification.
CLASSIFICATION OF SALADS ACCORDING TO THEIR FUNCTIONS IN THE MEAL
1. Appetizer Salads –
Figure 13 https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/chicken-salad-stuffed-tomato-appetizers/f19976d6-88be-48d9-9734-7054a4136a40
Appetizer salads should stimulate the appetite. They must have fresh, crisp
ingredients; tangy flavorful dressing; and an attractive, appetizing appearance.
The combination of ingredients should be interesting not dull. Flavorful foods
like cheese, ham, salami shrimp and crabmeat, even in small quantities should add
appeal and also crisp raw or lightly cooked vegetables.
Attractive arrangement and garnish are important because visual appeal
stimulates the appetite.

2. Accompaniment salad
Figure 14 https://www.crecipe.com/accompaniment+salad+with+picture+recipes
Accompaniment salads must balance and harmonize with the rest of the meal, like
any other side dish. Don’t serve potato salad at the same meal at which you are
serving French Fries or another starch. Sweet fruit salads are rarely appropriate as
accompaniment except with such items as ham or pork.
3. Side dish salads
Should be light and flavorful, not too much vegetable salads are often good choices.
Heavier salads such as macaroni or high protein salads containing seafood, cheese are
less appropriate, unless the main course is light.

4. Main course salads
Figure 15 https://www.sunset.com/recipe/puffed-black-rice
Should be large enough to serve as a full meal and should contain a
substantial portion of protein. Meat, poultry and seafood salads as well as egg
salad and cheese are popular choices.
Main course salads should offer enough variety and in flavors and textures.
In addition to the protein, a salad platter or fruits.
5. Separate course salads –
These salads must be very light and in no way filling. Rich, heavy dressings
such as sour cream and mayonnaise should be avoided. Light salad serve after
the main course to cleanse the palate and to refresh the appetite and provide a
break before dessert.

Objectives: At the end of the training period, the trainees were able
1. To classify salads according to ingredients used; and
2. To follow composition of salad according to the classification according to
ingredients.
Classification of Salads According to Ingredients Used
1. Green salads – must be fresh, clean, crisp and cold and well drained. Moisture
and air are necessary to keep greens crisp.
Figure 17 Green Salad
a) Leaves wilt because they lose moisture. Crispness can be restored by washing
and refrigeration. The moisture that clings to the leaves after thorough draining
is usually enough.
b) Air circulation is essential for the greens to breathe. Do not washed greens too
tightly or pack too firmly. Refrigerate in colanders covered with clean damp
towels, or in specially designed perforated plastic bins. These protect from
drying while allowing air circulation.

2. Vegetable, Grain Legumes and Pasta Salads
Figure 18 https://www.feastingathome.com/farmers-market-veggie-pasta/
Vegetable salads are salads whose main ingredients are vegetables other than
lettuce or other leafy greens. Starchy items such as grains, pastas and dried
legumes can also form the body of a salad. Raw or cooked vegetables are usually
added to the starch items to enhance the color, flavor and nutritional balance of the
salad. Protein items such as poultry, meat, seafood and cheese maybe added to
vegetables and starch salads.
3. Bound salads

protein, starch and vegetables items with mayonnaise like chicken salad, tuna
salad, egg salad and potato salad.
4. Fruit Salad
Figure 20 https://pickyeaterblog.com/beautiful-and-light-healthy-fruit-salad/
Contain fruits as their main ingredients, like appetizer salads or dessert salads.
5. Composed Salads
Made by arranging two or more elements attractively on a plate. They are called
composed because the components are arranged on the plate rather than being
mixed together. They are elaborate and can be substantial in size, usually served
as main courses or fruit courses rather than accompaniments or side dishes.

Most gelatin products today are made with sweetened prepared mixes and

prepare salads using unflavored gelatin relying on fruit juices and other ingredients
for flavor.
