Chef's Pro-Tips
- Dry Greens Thoroughly: Use a salad spinner to remove every drop of water from the greens. Wet leaves repel vinaigrette and dilute the dressing's punch.
- Dress Just Before Serving: Toss with dressing within 5 minutes of sitting down to eat. Salt in vinaigrettes pulls moisture from crisp produce if left sitting too long.
- Season with Flaky Sea Salt: A finishing sprinkle of Maldon or coarse sea salt right over dressed greens elevates all the garden flavors instantly.
