Accourding to MSN Lifestyle, you need 9 quarts to serve 24 with 1 1/2 cups per serving. 1 1/2 cups seems a bit much to me. It would depend on what you are serving it on...how large is the bread? If you used 1 cup on each sandwich, you would need 200 cups. Divide that by 4 and you have 50 quarts. If you're on a budget, then reduce the amount to 1/2 -3/4 cup, and you'd need 25 - 38 quarts. The amount of chicken needed depends on the recipie. The more other ingredients used, the less chicken you'd need. Use grapes, pineapple, almonds, etc. I use a whole roasted chicken and it usually makes about 4 quarts of chicken salad. It also depends on the size of the people, the fatter they are, the more they will want to eat!
I'd say about 150 depending on the size of the eggs.... maybe 175 if you want to be generous.
60 eggs
You would need about 300 mushrooms to make chicken salad for 100 people.
9 eggs
1 Gallon of potato salad feeds about 30 people, so 3.33 Gallons.
I would make 30 pounds
As a starting point: one egg per person, with half a dozen eggs spare, should do. Obviously, if you decide to use two eggs on each salad, simply double the number to 200 plus 6 spare. It is better to have some left over, than to run out.
In Weight Watchers, 1 large hard boiled egg is 2 points. You can make egg salad for 3 points or deviled eggs for 2 points as well. A Weight Watchers chopped salad is only 3 points.
16 eggs! :D
I would make 12 pounds
Depends on your tasate, but that is a lot of potato salad. Making a "regular" batch (not large) at home with about 5 lbs. of potatoes, I would add at least 5 eggs and I presume you are speaking of hard boiled eggs. (So you can do the math.) I have a German friend who soft cooks the egg (the yolk is slightly runny) and adds hers that way, not requiring as many eggs and good in flavor.
There is many ingredients that you can put in a salad such as lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, turkey or ham, carrots, eggs, cucumbers. You can add whatever you would like to your salad. Try different stuff or mix it up!
