Appetisers and salads are high profit menu items and as they are often the first dish that a customer receives, they must entice the eye and palate. Being well organised and working cleanly and hygienically will support you in creating attractive and tasty menu items. Appetisers can be served as an hors d oeuvre before a function, on plates served to the customer or as self service for customers, via a buffet.
