Salads can be made from a large number of items. There are pasta salads, bean salads, green salads, vegetable salads, and a number of others. They consist of one base ingredient such as potatoes, lettuce, or macaroni, and then other ingredients are added in. There is usually a sauce or dressing added. The most common salads are made from varieties of lettuce with vegetables and dressing tossed in.

Why is it necessay to shake a bottle of salad dressing before adding it to salad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because it is concentrated and so the lighter stuff floats to the top (thats why its a lighter color) and the heavier ingredients sinks to the bottom (darker color) so you shake it to mix it so it doesn't taste gross. =P

Is salad good for your heart?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, it depends what type of salad you are eating. Salad must contain a lot of fibres and fresh green herbs, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley and olive oil. Add a few pcs of garlic and ginger slices with tender onion.

Ofcourse it lowers blood sugar if you regularly eat salad without fruit in it.

Can you feed a iguana salad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Iguanas are strict herbivores requiring a nutritionally balanced mixture of various ORGANIC greens (not lettuce) vegetables and edible flowers. Feeding an iguana lettuce (typically meaning iceberg or other loose leaf varieties) is like feeding your dog sawdust. All you are doing is filling the gut - there is virtually no nutritional value and you are likely to develop digestive problems. If you are not prepared to do a lot of work - researching, preparing and caring for an iguana - do not get one.

While there are many personable igs out there - they are the EXCEPTION - not the norm. It takes A LOT of work to train and maintain a docile well behaved iguana. You are talking about an animal that has the potential to grow to 6 ft - needs space equivalent to a small bedroom with high humidity (60+%) and has a a very nasty bite - not to mention crunch power! This is NOT a beginner animal. IT IS THE MOST DISCARDED REPTILE IN THE U.S. - and I am guessing in other countries as well. We as a herp society (San Diego Herpetological Society) and myself personally, receive over 30 calls a month from people looking to donate (aka unload) their iguana - because it 1.)is too big 2.)got too mean 3.)bit me, my kid, the dog, etc. 4.)requires too much care 5.)is too hard to care for - or my most frustrating 6.) because it is sick (99% of the time due to poor husbandry). Igs can live on a poor improper diet for years - all the while suffering greatly as their renal system shuts down - the calcium is leeched from their bones and they turn to rubber - they are overrun with parasites internal and sometimes external - they have been abused and neglected - suffer extreme dehydration and more maladies than I can list in several pages.

If you have an iguana - you need to take proper care of it! One of the best resources I have found is Green Iguana---The Ultimate Owner's Manual by James W. Hatfield III - you can order it online at www.iguana.com - it spells out the good - the bad and the ugly when it comes to ig ownership. (I have no vested interest in the book - it is one of the most complete works written on the subject.) Contact your local herpetological society for additional information on iguana care or check out the related links.

Can you leave potato salad unrefrigerated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 45 degrees and Below 145 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.

Is salad part of heterogeneous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Homogeneous- The same. An example would be chocolate milk because you can't distinguish differences in it; it all appears to look the same.

Heterogeneous- Different. An example would be chicken noodle soup because there are many different pieces of chicken and noodles that you can distinguish.

Based on this example, is salad closer to chocolate milk or chicken noodle soup?

Can you distinguish the different parts of a salad, or does it all look the same?

The answer is clearly heterogeneous because you CAN distinguish the different parts of a salad, such as different leaves, croutons, salt&pepper, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

What would explain vegetables in salad dressing becoming limp and squishy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The water in the cells of the lettuce slowly evaporates through the cell walls, leaving the cells depleted and causing them to partially collapse. This removes the structure that would keep the lettuce stiff. In a living lettuce leaf, the water is replaced via the roots.

How long is pasta salad good for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ideally, you shouldn't keep it beyond 3-4 days. The moisture in the pasta is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, and shrimp/seafood can spoil extremely quickly--especially in that moist environment. If it's a mayo-based salad, 3 days... If it's a marinated salad, 4 days.

How much salt is in a salad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's a matter of taste. I usually use just a pinch of salt and add spices like different kinds of pepper, ginger, mustard, along with extravirgin olive oil and lemon juice, for simple dressings. In salads, the salt softens the acidity of the vegetables. You should try to taste the vegetables and observe the changes, rather than the salt alone.
