This website gives measurements for 12 people, so multiply that by 10. communitytable.parade.com/.../

I like this site because it seems like a more generous portion!

I hate parties where there is not enough food!! We always provide take out containers so folks can take some home.

I guess that is why my friends always call me a food pusher! A full tummy makes for a happy guest!!

You did not say if this was going to be a side dish and served with other food (usually takes less salad) or if this was a main item with very little other foods being served and this information could change the quantity of food you really need.

If there is other food around, many people never touch a salad unless it is served at a table.

Salads served at a table do not usually have the same quantity of food that is served from a buffet.

• Google is very useful in finding this information as you only need to search for quantity cherry tomatoes for 100 people (you will just have to add 1/4 more to the extra 20 people).
• www.ellenskitchen.com/.../saladbar100.html
• If there is something missing from this list then try Google again with whatever is missing or maybe something is not clear enough.
• Stating how many cups of an ingredient does not equate to how you will have to buy it from the store.
• Here are a couple more sites that may help you with one or two items.

• Hope you can find out about everything you need to know so your party will go smoothly.
