| Who'd ever write about salad cups? That'd be me! |
Whenever I order a take home meal from
a local restaurant I frequent, I often will have a salad which is
accompanied by a small plastic cup containing whatever salad dressing
I had ordered to go with the salad. Just recently I had ordered
French dressing and as I was rinsing out the container, I became
curious to see how much dressing I had consumed.
In terms of size, these cups are pretty
small (see diagram). There are two parts, a lid and the cup
itself.
Both weigh about a gram a piece. The material used to make them is
polystyrene, a material that is recyclable. Each cup, when filled to
the brim, will hold 59 ml or 2 ounces of dressing. The filled cup
pictured above held 41 grams or about two tablespoons of dressing
which I made myself using equal parts mayo and ketchup!
These little guys work great as
reusable containers for small salads that I like to make up ahead of
time.
