Container Induced Dressing Migration and Selection

I decided I wanted a salad for lunch today which is kind of an unusual thing for me, but it's something different and different is definitely good. Actually I was more craving vegetables then the lettuce part. So, I went to the Meijer salad bar and built a salad with a little lettuce and a lot of broccoli, mushrooms, green peppers, tomatos, etc... I put it all in a deep plastic bowl, and there's where I discovered a problem. You really need to match the container that your salad is in to the dressing you're using. If you're using a thinner more liquid dressing like a vinaigrette, you don't want a deep container. Otherwise, all the dressing just drains to the bottom and you end up using way more then you need. A plate is definitely a better choice. With a thicker dressing such as ranch or thousand island, a deep container is fine as most of the dressing will stick to the top of the salad. Although, I think a plate is better. French dressing can probably go both ways. Yeah, ok, I'm losing interest in this subject really fast so I think I'm done talking about it.
