OVERNIGHT BUFFET SALAD
This is a great tasting salad to take to your next potluck or serve at your next dinner party. It feeds a lot of people and it is easy to make. The prep time includes the refrigeration of the greens after washing (I let the lettuce crisp up 24 hours) and the refrigeration of the completed salad for 24 hours.

Steps:
- Wash spinach and lettuce and spin dry.
- Tear into small pieces, wrap in paper towels and refrigerate several hours, or overnight until dry and crisp.

- In a small bowl, combine dry salad dressing mix, mayonnaise, sour cream and yogurt.
- Spread prepared dressing over entire top of salad, making sure the edges are covered.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Garnish the top with green pepper rings, sliced black olives or green olives, tomato wedges, and slices or wedges of hard-cooked eggs.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Choose fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. If possible, buy your ingredients from a local farmers market or organic food store.
- Don't overdress your salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Let your salad rest: After you dress your salad, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve your salad at room temperature: Salads are best served at room temperature. This allows the flavors to shine through.
Conclusion:
Overnight buffet salads are a great way to feed a crowd. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can create a delicious and impressive salad that will be the hit of your next party.
