Y0ou want 5 ounces ready to eat turkey and 3 ounces ready to eat ham per person. 2 pounds raw boneless breast per 5; 1 pound boneless ham per 4.

Potato Salad, macaroni salad, caeser salad, bean salad and greek salad. All these have recipes on the site. Do potato for 1 1/3 times the amount for 100, pasta with 8 pounds dry pasta, Greek for 1 1/3 times the amount for 100, and Caesar for 1 1/3 times the amount for 100. Bean salad is different, do 3 1/2 gallons.

If this saves you time trouble, or money, consider a donation, maybe a dime per person, to support the site.
