The amount of salad needed for a braai or function depends on what other dishes are being served at the function. It is recommended to work with a maximum of 300g of mixed salads per person. Eg: 3 salads with servings of approximately 100g per salad per person apply. Depending on the popularity of the salad, more or less can be ordered to avoid an out-of-stock or overstock position.
Eg: 30 people have a braai: 30 x 300g = 9kg of salad is recommended. If 3 different salads are required, for example, potato, coleslaw and pasta, then the potato, because of popularity, could be ordered in portions of 100g – 140g per person; coleslaw in 80g to 100g portions per person and pasta salad in 80g to 100g portions per person.
