Salad for 40?

Question

Alright for a work function I have been assigned to make a salad for 40 people. I'm at a loss as to figure out how much I need to make.

It is just your typical salad with romanine lettuce, red peppers, capers, onions, artichoke hearts, croutons, raisins and sliced baby tomatoes. Maybe some fresh motarella if I can find any in Taipei.

Normally when I make this 3 heads of lettuce is used for 4-5 people, but we are big salad eaters.

There will be a lot of other food there, so should I just make enough for 20 and hope for the best?

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Since there will be a lot of other food there, just make enough for 20 people.  I bet at the end of the meal there will still be some salad left, too.

Answer 2

You could do something like 1 person will eat 2 tomatoes, this many raisins and this many whatever and just work it out. Sorry if this is c**p advice lol!

Answer 3

if i went to your party id eat all your salad

you never know besides you said you like salad so if there some leftover all the better for you
