KITCHEN TIPS: Preparing Salad Greens

KITCHEN TIPS:

Preparing Salad Greens:
· In preparing salad, do not stick to the usual iceberg lettuce, cabbage or spinach. Try out other lettuce varieties such as: endive, chicory, dandelions or urugula. A combination of several leaves makes for an exciting salad.
· Wash leaves then drain. Dry the leaves by wiping or rubbing against a towel or using a salad spinner.
· Keep the dried leaves in the chiller until ready to use.
· Add the dressing just before serving so that the leaves won’t wilt at once.
· Add just enough dressing so as not to overwhelm the greens.
