Today we talked about the importance of water for our bodies. But, just like any nutrient, too much water can be harmful for our bodies. Most people do not get enough water throughout the day, though, so it's not as much of a concern as other nutrients are in excess.

Today we went over some principles of salad making & took notes. If you missed, take notes on the Salads PowerPoint and then turn in with your 2 pictures.

We also then created an aesthetically pleasing salad (needed variety in shape, color, & texture) and a vinaigrette dressing.

A vinaigrette dressing is a 3:1 ratio with 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. Also, an emulsion is required to make a vinaigrette.

To make an emulsion, the vinegar is placed in the mixing bowl first and then the oil is slowly drizzled into the bowl as you continually whisk. You are whisking as the oil is being poured into the bowl and you never stop whisking until the emulsion is completed. If there is oil floating around the top when you are finished, a proper emulsion was not made.

To make up this lab, you need to create an aesthetically pleasing salad (take a picture of your final product) and a vinaigrette (again, take a picture of the vinaigrette for it to be passed off).
