The Chef's Rules For Tossed Salads
Use only fresh crisp salad greens, carefully washed, drained
and 'refrigerated,
Tar or shred the greens into bite-sized pieces.
Select a dressing that not only tastes good in itself, but that will complement the other salad ingredients and the various foods in the meal. French dressing or one of its derivatives harmonises with my menu.
