SALAD TONG

What comprises salad tongs? One side will be a spoon, while the other will be a fork (or possibly a spork). This way you can toss, grab, and serve up leafy greens, no matter what you have tossed in the bowl.

These tongs are generally made from food-grade plastic, but some nicer ones might be made of wood. This way, they are easy to maintain, and the acidic nature of some salad dressings won’t eat away at it, which might be the case with certain metals. There are also different kinds of grips for these salad tongs. As most salad tongs have one-piece construction, there are no additional moving pieces on the tongs, making them very easy to maintain and clean.

On the flip side, if you’re looking for something a bit more elaborate, you can also find scissor-handled salad tongs. This handle very much looks like an oversized pair of scissors, only it gives you a better grip and usually comes with a longer handle. This is good if you are serving up a salad to guests in your home and you want to extend your reach. In general, though, you’ll probably be just fine with the inexpensive plastic salad tongs, which range anywhere from half a foot to a foot.
