apples mixed with nuts, celery and mayonnaised based dressing.
Broken or less attractive pieces of fruit should be placed on the bottom of
the sald while more attractive pieces arranged on top.
Some fruit discolor when cut and should be dipped into an acid such as tart
or fuit juice
If voth vegetables and fruit salds are being prepared, vegetables salad
should be prepared first.
Drained canned fruits well before mixing them in the salad.

Flavors and textures of all ingredients should provide pleasing contrast.
Observe general concepts of plating and presentations of output

24. Gelatine Salads
made with sweetened prepared mixes
with artificial color and flavor or
unflavored gelatin

25. Guidelines in Making Gelatine Salads
Observe the correct proportion of gelatin and liquid
Dissolve unflavored geltain in cold liquid to avoid lumping, and let it stand for 5 minutes,
then heat or add hot liquid and stir until dissolved
Dissolve sweetened, flavored gelatin, stir it into boiling water.
For quick setting, dissolve the gelatin to half of the volume of liquid and th eother half is
cold water to lower the temperature. For even faster setting, add crushed ice in an equal
volume of cold water,s tir until the ice is melted.
Do not add raw pinapple and papaya to gelatin salads because these fruits contain
enzymes which dissolve gelatin
Canned fruts and other juicy items must be well drained before adding because they will
watered down the gelatin.
Unmold gelatin if it is too firm by loosening it using a warm knife and running its tip
around the top edge of the molded gelatin/dipping in hot water for 1-2 seconds; quickly
moistening tips of fingers and gently pulling gelatin away from edge.
Refrigerate gelatin salads

-soak vegetable in this solution for about a minute.(even ingredients that
have to be peeled too)
-gently wash vegetables and pay special attention to the stems and leaves
rinse the vegetables in tap water several times
- vegetables may further be sanitized in a mild solution of potassium
