10 SENSATIONAL SALAD MAKING SUGGESTIONS
1. Salads are naturally attractive and simple by definition and should taste as good as they look.
2. Cut ingredients so they are uniform in size - not too small, not too large.
3. Toss salad ingredients lightly, rather than stirring, to protect the ingredients from being mashed.
4. Make sure lettuce is washed, then pat lettuce dry with a soft dish towel or use a salad spinner, and then chill to make crisp.
5. Use a variety of lettuce greens such as leaf lettuce, watercress, endive, arugula, and spinach, keeping an eye for color and texture contrasts.
6. Lettuce can be used as a "bowl" or "cup" for holding salad ingredients. Leaf lettuce, if cut halfway thru stem end, can be lapped one side over the other to form a "cup".
7. Thoroughly drain fruits and vegetables before using or serving.
8. Garnish salads, especially main dish salads with radishes, celery slices, tomato wedges, pickles, and/or stuffed eggs around the outside edge of the salad serving platter or bowl.
9. Score an unpeeled cucumber by drawing a fork down lengthwise; slice thinly.
10. Garnish fruit salads with cherries, nut-coated cream cheese balls, soaked sunflower seeds or green grapes.
