The freshness of New Year’s salads will help maintain compliance with two simple rules. They were named socialbites.ca by Maxim Kuznetsov, brand chief of Kitchens in the Region.
First of all, the expert recommended that salads should not be left on the table during New Year’s Eve.
“Usually a festive feast lasts a very long time – up to 6-7 hours. At this point, processes that eliminate the freshness of the food will begin. Within a few hours at room temperature, bacteria form on the plate and begin to actively multiply. “Imagine what happens if the salad stays on the table all night,” Kuznetsov said.
To prevent salads from spoiling, she suggested placing them in the refrigerator as soon as you plated them and adding more as needed.
The second rule concerns dressing salads with mayonnaise – this should be done immediately before consumption.
“Peel the prepared salads and store them in the refrigerator. In this way, the materials will not get wet, release water and interact with each other; They will stay fresh by mixing them in one plate. Kuznetsov noted that salads should be dressed just before serving.
He added that if a lot of salad is prepared, mayonnaise should not be applied to everything cut.
“Put the desired amount of salad on a separate plate and dress it there. Unseasoned leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator; But in this case they can be eaten for a few more days,” the chef warned.
