To Prepare Lettuce

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove all defective leaves and set them aside for the salad's interior.

  2. Reserve the whole leaves for decoration and serving.

  3. Break each leaf by hand, wash them thoroughly, and soak in very cold water until needed.

  4. When ready to serve, lift each leaf separately, shake gently, and dry between two towels.

  5. Serve the leaves in a bowl without cutting them with a knife.
