Assuming the vegetables used to make a salad were washed prior, does eating such a salad require the washing of hands without a Bracha?

2editing in why you think they would require washing would greatly improve this question. ( If I had a source for you I'd give it to you, but I don't have one off-hand )– MTLNov 25, 2014 at 1:07

The veggies are dried first though...– Double AA ♦Nov 25, 2014 at 3:11

@DoubleAA You dry your veggies before putting them in a salad?– msh210 ♦Nov 25, 2014 at 6:45

Shulchan Aruch HaRav O.C. 158:3 paskens that any food normally eaten without using ones hands directly does not require washing of hands without a Bracha.
Salad, as far as I know, is eaten with cutlery, so it would not require washing according to that.

I've seen some who are careful not to eat an entire washed vegetable, because of this concern. i.e. they will wash a carrot or cucumber, but then cut off a bit of the end. The idea is, as long as one doesn't consume a whole washed vegetable, the ruling of the shulchan aruch doesn't apply, and then the rest of the remaining vegetable could even be eaten by hand.– JakeNov 25, 2014 at 8:37
