Some of the most common problems are crowded with green salads, the faded, overload, soaked or drowned in dressing.
A good salad is the perfect balance of textures, flavors and colors. And for maximum sharpness, green salad should be served cold.
For a perfect salad: Keep it Simple
The main ingredient in a salad is salad. Although I rarely more than two classes - perhaps a variety of leaves and another one that is a little more crisp.
(But any use as cos: green on one end and the crisis in the other.)
It also allows the simple things in the fridge. Are you really use to four different heads of lettuce?
It is also important that your salad is crisp. I explain more about saving Salad crisp lettuce.
The wet salad is another no-no. If your salad is wet, the Association glide just right and leaves in the pool at the bottom of the cup. A salad spinner is a great tool to keep your sheets dry salad.
When cutting pieces to size
Your salad (and other components) should be cut into small pieces. You should not have seen to your salad with a knife.
And I realize that I cut it. Some people suggest tear salad instead of cut. Hoes, say, damages the cells of the lettuce leaves brown, while allegedly tearing leaves it intact cells.
The truth is that many cells rips tears salad and cutting. Meanwhile, the tearing is rather the leaves, the sting causes wilt.
In addition, sharp edges pretty chopped salad, and is much easier to get evenly sized pieces with a knife.
Keep it simple (Part 2)
Victims salad bar, where a salad with lots of ingredients loaded syndrome not fall.
In addition to lettuce and tomatoes, green salad should be two more vegetables or belong. For me, sliced red onion is almost always one of them. A second could cabbage, grated carrot or cucumber slices are cut or shredded into peppers sliced.
Also look for a mix of colors and flavors and textures. For example, instead of green peppers, orange or yellow question.
And instead of dice vegetables crush cut into small pieces, in strips or bite. Diced vegetables always on the bottom of the tub, if you settle throw the salad, but the bands and the chips are remain rather scattered.
What about tomatoes?
A green salad without tomatoes is so sad, a proposal how a burger without bread.
But what kind of tomatoes? Coins Tomatoes are an excellent choice, but they are heavy and watery and can weigh up to a salad.
Cherry tomatoes are much better. But be sure to cut it in half before you. Trying to get a fork in a cherry tomato, everything is just aggravating.
Serve salad
I mentioned the fresh green, and relax your salad is another nice touch. Only in a refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Keep out of the dressing to the salad until just before serving, otherwise you will get wet. And do not drown. You just want to lightly coat each piece of lettuce.
Pour. Dressing over salad and toss gently Add more seasoning if necessary and mix again until everything lightly coated. For best results, use a vinaigrette for blue cheese or ranch salad-Mai as weigh too much (although I realize that a ranch to convince or blue cheese fan is probably a bridge too far.)
Finally, if you are a person with croutons, add them at the end, dressed salad after salad and after each planting. Thus, it starts at the top and not get soaked.
