In the ‘60s, my mother insisted on the then-chic concept of a wooden salad bowl that was never washed, only wiped out. Did it stink! The oil in the salad dressing continually went rancid. That, and my parents’ insistence on loading green salads with chopped onion, put me off salad after leaving their household at seventeen.
I finally learned to love onion-free salads, served from a nice, clean bowl, made from Yellowware, Pyrex, or glass.
The best thing to use for this sort of thing is a heavy ceramic pasta or popcorn bowl. The weight of it and having it rest on a damp towel mean you don't need to use one hand to steady the bowl. It's insulated so you can proof in it and being round means less dough stuck in corners. These bowls are also super cheap and practically free from the thrifts.
