    How do you keep salad fresh for a picnic?

    • Be aware of the time you place the 4th of July Salads out on the buffet table. Mayonnaise based salads should not be left outside for longer than an hour.
    • If you are serving a mayonnaise based salad, such as potato or macaroni salad, have a larger bowl underneath filled with ice cubes and place a smaller serving bowl inside to keep the salad fresh.
    • Choose beans such as chickpeas or kidney beans to toss into salads. They hold well when traveling.
    • Try not to slice tomatoes too far in advance of serving the salad. Sliced tomatoes will cause any salad to become watery. It's better to use smaller cherry or even grape tomatoes.
    • Hardy vegetables such as carrots, radishes and cucumbers are great for make-ahead salads and won't get soft.
    • If you can, avoid creamy salad dressings. Try to use a salad dressing that the base is a vinaigrette. Add the salad dressing right before serving, not when leaving the house.
    • You can always put your salad together when you arrive at the backyard barbecue or picnic. Package the ingredients in separate containers or disposable plastic bags.
    • If you're serving a green salad, you can keep it fresh by covering it with a damp paper towel and remove right before serving the main meal.

      Can't wait to try the Greek Pasta Salad. We love it when our nephew comes and he always brings his version of a Greek Pasta salad...this will be better. Can't wait to see his face. ROFL
