I have to admit, I have not been diligent about blogging these last 11 days. After working the short order for a week, my group moved to compound salads and dressings. During that week, I made a lifetime's worth of mayonnaise. It was gross and awesome all at once. As part of our duty, we made six dressings (raspberry vinaigrette, balsamic, blue cheese, green goddess, french, and 1000 islands) for the salad bar and a number of compound salads for the bakery sales. But the best part was truly the gallons of mayonnaise we made on a daily basis.
This week, I'm working on appetizer salads. These are pre-packaged and everyday we make six different salads: tossed green salad, waldorf salad, julienne of vegetables, seafood pasta salad, greek, and MEAT SALAD.
You may be wondering what meat salad is. Is it a joke? An oxymoron? No, it is very serious and it sells out every day. Meat salad is a julienne of deli meats (roast beef, salami, summer sausage, and ham) mixed with julienned cheese, peppers, and onions. All of this is dressed with a vinaigrette and tossed with capers and then served up in 200 gram portions. It is a cafeteria hit. I really do not understand this salad.

Whats to understand? Its meat, and it can be called a salad!
Its a plus in any carnivorous woman's life, and definitely a manly salad for men.
