TIPS:

  • The secret to perfect salads that soak up all the dressing is to strain the salad leaves very well beforehand. An easy way is to place the washed salad leaves on a clean kitchen towel. Bring the corners of the towel together and with a twirling motion in the air, spin and strain. The water is absorbed by the towel and the salad is now ready for dressing.
