Buffet Salad Quantities

For a wedding buffet serving 90 guests, how much of each salad when there are 5 salad varieties? (I think making 90 servings for each salad would be too much.)
Thank you.

It depends on what kind of salads, and what else is being served. For example, iceberg lettuce, you want about 9 pounds head plus add-ins for serving 100. but if doing 2 different green salads, you just do about 10 pounds total. Potato salad about 4 1/2 gallons per 100, but if serving pasta salad also, just 3 to 3 1/2. Slaw, 3 gallons per 100, but if doing several specialty salads like corn-black bean salsa, broccoli slaw, and Texas caviar, a scant 2 gallons each. So if you let me know what, I can be more specific.

Thank you. The five salads we're planning are: potato, slaw, pasta, quinoa, and watermelon/cucumber.until
