Serving Salads can be used in five ways during the service courses:
A starter salad, served as an appetizer to the main meal, is smaller in portion and consists of light, fresh, crisp ingredients to stimulate the appetite. Serve an accompaniment salad, or side salad, with the main course of the meal, and make it light and flavorful, but not too rich. Main course salads are large enough to serve as a full meal and may contain protein ingredients, such as meat, poultry, seafood, egg, beans, or cheese. The intermezzo salad is intended to be a palate cleanser after a rich dinner and before dessert. Dessert salads are usually sweet and often contain fruits, sweetened gelatin, nuts, cream, and whipped cream.
