Hiya
We are doing a meal for approx 100 people
Lots of breads/spreads etc
Lots of salads (thinking 4-5 (we are vegetarian)
1 meat option (prob lamb)
nut/lentil loaf with gravy

Thing is. how much salad do we allow per person!!
Any ideas!
TIA

depends on what size spoon you put in with the salad, most will only put a couple of salads on their plate, when I do anything like this I put a fairly big spoon in the coleslaw as this is cheap as chips to make, egg salad has a smaller spoon, pasta salads big spoon. also what size bowls are you using! I use those wooden salad type ones about 12 inches across, for 100 people, 3 bowls each of a green salad, 3 of rice/pasta, smaller bowls for egg, beetroot, onions. May help if you mention the salads you are going to serve.
