2. Caesar salad
We could all agree that Caesar salad is a buffet staple, but it is not a safe bet! How so? Caesar salad contains raw eggs. “Raw or undercooked eggs pose a very high risk of salmonella poisoning and foods such as Hollandaise sauce and Caesar salad dressings are often prepared with raw or undercooked eggs,” Busalacchi explains.
As a matter of fact, you should avoid all buffet staples that contain creamy dressings. Keep it simple! Opt for a mix of olive oil and vinegar. “This is a win-win because not only do most of these choices decrease the risk for food poisoning, but they also heart healthier,” she says.
