Is there a rule of thumb for working out how much salad you might need for a large crowd, for example, 250gms per person for say potato salad?
Have about 50 people turning up on Saturday so just trying to work out how much I should need of each salad

You got it pretty right, I would say, 250g is pretty good. Depends if you are having other salads as well.

Hi.. if you put 'catering' into the left search function, then change 'last 24 hours' to 'anytime', then search, a range of catering threads will come up that have info about quantities, etc.. some are for 50 people..

I have a cook book where the recipes serve 50 people. They suggest 3.5kg of potatoes, 250g onions, mayo, 500g of peas (I would use some gherkins instead); and 12 hard boiled eggs.
Also depends on what you are serving with it
