Objective: To demonstrate understanding of key principles of designing a balanced and appealing salad bar.
A neatly drawn or computer-generated graph of two 52” x 20” spaces (or, 4 feet 4 inches by 1 foot 8 inches”), in which you have designed and arranged a salad bar that would be suitable for the students of Oskaloosa Senior High School.
Materials:
Graph paper/pencil
Computer Design Program
Pinterest/Google for photo inspiration
Things to consider in your design:
Salad bar space will fit: 4 full-size hotel pans; 8 half-size hotel pans; 16 quarter-size hotel pans; 24 1/6-size hotel pans
Salad bar is arranged with some thought given to color, textures, nutritional values…and of course, what the students will actually eat.
Be as specific as you can. Don’t just write ‘cucumbers’ on your graph. Will they be sliced? Chunks?
