Marinated Salads

Any salad allowed to marinate in a vinaigrette for a period of time to impart additional flavor to the ingredients. Remember that acids destroy chlorophyll and will also cook or pickle the ingredients, so keep this in mind when preparing this dishes, it may be wise to do them in small batches or for larger services do them shortly before service, allow approximately 15 to 30 minutes imparting flavor. An alternative is to use a portion of your oil and herbs to coat the vegetables to impart more flavors and then add the rest of the vinaigrette shortly before service.
