Questions about Lettuce salad
How do you stop lettuce salad going soggy?
Wash the leaves, dry them thoroughly in a salad spinner or with a clean tea towel, and keep the dressing separate until you are ready to eat. Salt and acidic dressing draw water from the leaves, so toss them just before serving.
Can you make lettuce salad ahead of time?
Prepare and dry the leaves ahead, then refrigerate them in a covered container with a piece of kitchen paper to absorb moisture. Keep tomatoes, cucumber and dressing separate until serving; dressed leaves are best eaten straight away.
How do you wash lettuce for a salad?
Separate the leaves and rinse them under cool running water, rubbing away any grit near the base. Dry them well before dressing, or the water will dilute the dressing and stop it clinging to the leaves.
What goes well with lettuce salad?
Lettuce salad works with cucumber, tomatoes, radishes and spring onions, and makes a fresh side for quiche, grilled fish or roasted vegetables. For a more filling meal, add boiled eggs, beans or cooked chicken.
What can you use instead of lettuce in a salad?
For a similarly crisp base, use shredded cabbage or finely sliced fennel; watercress or rocket gives a more peppery salad. Add the dressing just before serving, especially with delicate leaves.
How much energy does lettuce salad have?
A 100 g portion provides 54 kcal. The actual amount in a serving depends largely on how much dressing is included.
