 | Use the freshest ingredients available |
| Mild tasting vegetables like leafy greens must offer
texture to the plate by being crisp, and make sure they are free from
sand or blemishes. If serving a dressing , dress the salad by
lightly tossing with the dressing prior to service when possible to
insure the proper mixture of flavor. |
| You may wish to dress dense or strong tasting
vegetables by marinating them a day in advance to balance their flavor. |
| Plate and serve cold salads at the last
possible minute in a cold dish |
| Never overcrowd the plate. It is a good idea
never to let the salad presentation flow outside of the inner rim of the
plate. |
