In Praise of the Savory Salad
LANCASTER What is made in
one dish, contains meat,
vegetables, and dairy products,
and doesn’t have to be cooked?
The answer is a main-dish
“stratified” salad.
The ChePs Strata Salad or
layered salad was created as a no
cook alternative to the all-
American casserole. The salad is
composed in steps beginning with a
bed of mixed greens, followed by
layers of fresh vegetables, cold
meat and cheese, and crowned
with plenty of thick dressing,
The g«i«d requires a dressing that
can stand up to its hearty,
character, and Philadelphia Brand
dressings, new from Kraft, are just
what the chef ordered- Made with
real cream cheese, they are thick,
rich, and creamy—the perfect
accompaniment to a main-dish
salad.
When it comes to nutrition and
flavor, a stratified salad really
stacks up against a casserole, and
takes much less time and energy.
A meal composed of a main-dish
stratified salad and fresh bread
sticks or crackers can include
representatives from all the basic
food groups in a way that is new,
exciting, and easy to prepare. The
salad may be made up to eight
hours in advance when covered
well with plastic wrap and
refrigerated until serving time.
To make a main-dish Chef’s
Strata Salad, line a shallow tray or
platter with your favorite lettuce
variety, then arrange a layer of
fresh mushroom slices and red
onion rings. Top them with a circle
of rolled ham slices and tomato
wedges, and pour a liberal amount
of Philadelphia Brand Italian herb
dressing in the center. Sprinkle
shredded cheddar cheese over the
entire salad.
You can combine your own
favorite ingredients to build a
variety of salads: start with a bed
of your favorite mixed greens, then
be creative and generous with the

Stratified Salad
Farmers create
world’s largest salad
In 1982, the world’s largest salad was created by the Young
Farmers of King City, California on May 14. However, farmers
in Palm Beach, Florida, set out to break that record this year.
LANCASTER World Record books haven’t set up a category
for salads yet, but the people of Belle Glade set out to change all
that by building a salad that no one could ignore.
Local farmers contributed nine varieties of leafy vegetables as
well as carrots, celery, radishes and tomatoes to create a seven-ton
salad. Compared with a similar salad-making project in 1982 held
by the Young Farmers of King City, California, who created 624
cubic feet of salad, the Belle Glade salad was three times larger.
Kraft participated in both events by providing the salad dressing,
the company committed 150 cases of 8-ounce bottles for this year’s
salad which added up to more the 55 gallons!
Salads aren’t just a gimmick in the Belle Glade area. The city’s
nickname is the Winter Vegetable Capital of the world and for good
cause: The rich, black muck that surrounds the city is the reason
Palm Beach County supplies more sweet com, more celery, more
sugar cane and more radishes than any other county in the United
States. Most of the fresh salad vegetables eaten during the winter
east of the Mississippi are grown in the fields of muck in western
Palm Beach County.
The muck is the black gold that gave the city’s annual festival its
name five years ago, when city leaders used the city’s 50th an
niversary as a springboard to create an annual celebration of the
vegetable and sugar cane harvest.
“The salad is our way of getting more people involved in the
agricultural industry. They'll be able to see 1,809 cubic feet of
vegetables tossed to make up the biggest salad in history. They’ll
then help eat that salad, as a side-dish to a catfish dinner on April
16, and a barbecued chicken dinner on April 17,” said Rupert Mock,
1983 Black Gold Festival chairman.
