Salads at Buffets

Salads at buffets can be a healthy choice, but the risk of contamination from unwashed vegetables or improper handling is higher. On a cruise, it’s better to choose salads made to order or those you prepare yourself from fresh, whole ingredients. You’ll still get the crunch and freshness you crave, but with much less risk. If you’re looking for greens, opt for steamed vegetables or a freshly made salad.

Buffet salads can carry bacteria. Choose made-to-order salads or steamed vegetables for a safer and healthy option. Fresh and carefully prepared vegetables can be both tasty and safe.
