101. Safety and hygienic practices
in storing salad and dressing

102.  Green Salads are plated in a cold plate.
Avoid plating salads more than an hour or
two before service. Garnish that is tossed
should be added at serving time.
 Refrigerate salads before serving time.
 Dressing is added immediately before
serving, or serves it on the side.
 Refrigerate salads until serving. Do not
hold more than a few hours, or the salads
will sag. Holding boxes should have high
humidity.
 Do not add dressing to green salads until
serving, or they will sag.

104. How to Wash Fruits
and Vegetables

105. • Start by choosing produce that's free of bruises,
mold, or other signs of damage. If you are
purchasing precut items, make sure they have
been refrigerated or displayed on ice at the
supermarket.
• Once home, store perishable fruits and vegetables
in the refrigerator (at 40 degrees F or below) until
you're ready to use them. Always store precut
fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, too.
• Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and
warm water before and after handling fresh
produce.
• Use a sharp paring knife to cut away any damaged
or bruised areas of the fruit or vegetable.

106. • Wash the produce before you peel it. That way,
contaminants will not be transferred from your
knife to the fruit or vegetable.
• Hold the fruit or vegetable under cool running tap
water, gently rubbing it as you rinse it.
• For firm produce, such as melons and winter
squash, use a clean vegetable brush to scrub the
surface as you rinse it.
• Produce with bumpy, uneven surfaces, such as
cauliflower and broccoli, should be soaked for 1 to
2 minutes in cold water to remove contaminants
from the nooks and crannies.
• Use a clean cloth or paper towel to dry the produce
before using it.

107. How to Wash Salad Greens

108. • First, discard the wilted outer leaves; then
prepare and wash greens as directed for each
type.
• For leafy lettuces, such as green or red-tip leaf,
butter head, and romaine as well as endive,
remove and discard the root end. Separate leaves
and hold them under cold running water to
remove any dirt.
• For smaller greens, such as spinach and arugula,
swirl them in a bowl or a clean sink filled with cold
water about 30 seconds. Remove the leaves and
shake gently to let dirt and other debris fall into
the water. Repeat the process if necessary. Drain
in a colander.

109. • For iceberg lettuce, remove the core by
hitting the stem end on the countertop;
twist and lift out the core. (Do not use a
knife to cut out the core, as this can cause
the lettuce to brown). Hold the head, core
side up under cold running water, pulling
leaves apart slightly. Invert the head and
drain thoroughly. Repeat if necessary.
• For mesclun (a mixture of young, small
salad greens often available in bulk at
farmers markets), rinse in a colander or the
basket of a salad spinner

110. Other Tips for Washing
Fruits and Vegetables

111. • Do not use soap or detergents when washing
produce.
• Wash fruits and vegetables. Cool, clean,
running tap water is fine.
• Wash all produce before using, even if you are
going to peel it. Any dirt and bacteria on the
outside of unwashed produce can be
transferred from the knife into the fruit or
vegetable. Tip: Even organic fruits and
vegetables, as well as produce from your own
garden or local farmer's markets, should be
washed well.
