How long do salads stay good in the refrigerator?
Depends a little bit on what's in it. Cut up tomatoes will make it wet and shorten the time. Some ingredients (like sliced raw mushrooms) can get a bit mushy.
But if you make a crisp green salad with everything very fresh--say, lettuce and raw spinach, cucumbers, bell peppers, carrot slivers, chopped celery, and other things that are moist but not wet, firm rather than soft--it can keep refrigerated for 2 or 3 days in good condition, especially if the lettuce is not cut with a knife but torn with the fingers.
If you store it in small individual-serving containers without much air in them, you can get away with as much as 4 or 5 days. At the end of the time, you'll be able to see that it's not totally fresh, but it will be perfectly edible. ___________________________________________ Another excellent way to store green salad is to put it into small or medium sized freezer bags, squeeze out the air and fasten securely. Store the bags in your vegetable crisper. I'd be inclined to store cucumber in a separate bag.
Is a garden salad a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

The salad bowl theory replaced the melting pot idea about the cultural and ethnic makeup of the United States. The melting pot idea was that America brought many different cultures and ethnicities together and "melted" or "blended" them all up into a uniquely America identity. However, the salad bowl theory says that the uniquely American identity is more like a mixture of cultures and ethnicities that retain their own individuality while also being part of something new, like vegetables in a salad.

Almost all salad dressings are based on a vinegrette -- an emulsion of an oil and and acid (typically but not always vinegar). Other ingredients make up most of the different diressings. For instance:
The basic vinegrette formula is to start with your acid (vinegar, citruses like lemon, etc.) and non-oily ingredients (salt, pepper, herbs, etc.) in a bowl, and gradually whisk in the oil quite slowly until an emulsion (the suspension of one liqiud in small globules within another; in this case oil suspended within water based acids). If you do this correctly, the two liquids appear to combine.
From basic vingrette comes:
Mayonaise (egg yolks added to thicken the emulsion -- they're part of the fat side of the water acid/fat equation).
Thousand Island Dressing -- to mayonaise add sweet gherkins and ketchup, or something similar.
Ranch Dressing -- to mayonaise, add sour cream, herbs, shallots/scallions, etc.
And so on...
In summary, nearly if not all salad dressings are based on a fat/water acid emulsion and grow from there.
