Questions about Green salad
How do you keep green salad crisp?
Rinse the leaves in cold water, then dry them thoroughly in a salad spinner or between clean tea towels. Keep them chilled and add dressing just before serving; wet leaves and early dressing make a salad limp.
Should you wash bagged green salad?
If the pack says the leaves are washed and ready to eat, you can use them straight from the bag. Otherwise, rinse them in cold running water and dry them well.
When should you dress green salad?
Dress it just before you eat, tossing gently so the leaves get a light coating. For a simple vinaigrette, whisk three parts oil with one part vinegar or lemon juice, then season.
What goes well with green salad?
Green salad works well alongside quiche, grilled fish or roasted vegetables. Add sliced radishes, cucumber and spring onions for crunch, or toss through cooked lentils, chickpeas or cheese to make it more substantial.
How long does green salad keep in the fridge?
Store dry leaves in a covered container lined with kitchen paper, and keep it in the fridge. Replace the paper if it becomes damp; use the leaves while crisp and discard any that are slimy or unpleasant-smelling.
How much green salad should you serve as a side?
A generous handful or two per person makes a practical side serving. If it is the main part of the meal, add a filling ingredient such as beans, eggs or grains.
Is green salad a source of vitamin C?
Yes. Green salad provides 35 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, making it a source of this vitamin.
