I work at a newly opened restaurant and we had photographers come in to take pictures of the food. My friend is in charge of our salad station and created this masterpiece.

These salads to me feel like they send a message. Like "Mix it yourself, peasant, and good luck keeping it all in the bowl when you do. By the way 95% of it's just iceberg hidden under the toppings."
Don't get me wrong, the orderly layers are aesthetically pleasing. And it actually looks like romaine or green leaf here which is nice.
It is actually just spring mix and romaine. We started out using iceberg but our head chef didn't like it so we switched.
As for mixing the salads you'll actually have more complaints from customers if the salads are pre-mixed.
Heh, customers are the worst 😅
In my experience most mid-upper scale restaurants not only mix the salad but toss it with the ideal amount of dressing before serving it as well. I appreciate that, but I have to wonder how many complaints they get.
Unless you're only eating salad, I can see it being enough for four people as a side dish. In which case you can pick what you want easily.
I like not mixing it. Then you can get variaty in each bite, and choose what it is.
I don't have any difficulty doing that with a mixed salad 🤷♂️
