Salad questions, answered

What is the easiest salad to make ahead
Pasta salad, quinoa salad, coleslaw, marinated chickpea salad and sesame noodle salad all hold up for days in the fridge. The flavors meld as they sit, so they are ideal for meal prep and potlucks.
How do I keep salad greens from wilting
Dry the greens well after washing and dress them only just before serving. Acid and oil break down delicate leaves quickly, so toss at the last minute.
How long can you store washed salad greens
Up to two weeks if they are completely dry and stored in a sealed bag with a paper towel and a little air. Wet leaves or a bag with no air both cause slime within days.
Which salads work as a full meal
Cobb salad, taco salad, chicken salad, marinated chickpea salad and quinoa salad all carry enough protein to stand alone for lunch or dinner. Add grilled chicken or beans to lighter salads to fill them out.
Can I make these salads in advance for a crowd
Yes. Chop the components and mix the dressings ahead, then combine close to serving time. Sturdy salads like pasta, coleslaw, chickpea and quinoa can be fully dressed a few hours early.
