INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE SALAD
1) When washing produce, squeeze the juice of 1 or 2 lemons into the water
and also add about ½ tsp. salt. The lemon juice adds to the crispness of the
lettuce and the salt will drive out any insects hidden on the produce.
2) If lettuce seems to be limp, add ice cubes to the water and allow lettuce to
soak a few minutes.
3) After thorough washing, dry lettuce well between towels or drain in a salad
basket.
4) Always chill lettuce after it is cleaned. Put in a cloth bag or other closed
the container in the refrigerator to keep cold and crispy.
5) If you wish tomatoes to be added to a salad, prepare them separately and use
them as garnish. If they are added along with the other ingredients, their
the juice will thin the dressing.
6) It is best to cut tomatoes in vertical slices because they bleed less this way.
7) A tastier tossed salad will result if several kinds of lettuce are used.
8) Always taste a tossed salad before serving. If it seems dull, add a little more
vinegar or salt and pepper.
9) Chill salad plates (bowls), especially if serving individual salads.
10) For a change of pace, try chilling the salad forks too. You’ll be amazed at the
reactions you’ll receive.
