Making tossed salad for 400
Scott
05/21/08 		We are putting on a fundraiser, and I have been put in charge of making the tossed salad. We are anticipating feeding 400, and I need help with quantities. Of course, if I had quantities for 100, I could do the math. But have no idea where to start. I am planning on lettuce (what kind should I get?), cukes, tomatoes, carrots, and peppers (yellow?).......HELP!!!!

We are putting on a fundraiser to make chef salads. We are anticipating feeding 100, and I need help with quantities. Of course, if I had quantities for 100, I could do the math. But have no idea where to start. I am planning on lettuce (what kind should I get?), cukes, cherry tomatoes, carrots,peppers, shredded cheese, chunk ham. Saltine crackers

05/21/08 		There is a plan for 100 list on the site with comprehensive directions for 6 different salad options for 100. Should do for you both. See also the veggie tray page for more ideas on varioous quantities and for dip/dressing help.

For the chefs salad you do the large tossed salad and add 2-3 ounces meats, 2 ounces sliced cheeses, 1 ounce croutons and 1 hard-cooked egg per person.

Crackers are always 6-7 pounds per 100, bread is about 10-12 pounds per 100.

If you check out the veggie tray page, it tells things like weights of vegetable to get x numbers of pieces, perhaps that will help your plan.
