don't dress the salad!. have assorted dressings on the side!. make sure you put the salad in a nice, wide stainless steel bowl sitting on a bowl of ice!. make sure the greens are nice and dry!.
if you don't have bowls like this, get two large disposable aluminum pans!. fill the botton one half full with ice and sit the other on top with the greens in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make or buy dressings to have available on the side!. Have cruets of oil and vinegar and also provide lemon wedges in case people just want lemon juice on their salads!. The added bonus is that your salads will stay fresher longer if the dressings are put on just before consumption!.
