Place
vinegar or juice in bottom
of salad bowl. Add salt and optional pepper and mustard. Whisk
until salt dissolves . Now SLOWLY drizzle in oil, whisking continuously
until all the oil as been added. Place prepared lettuces carefully
on top and then any other ingredients you might wish to add like
tomatoes, cucumbers , etc., or perhaps berries or citrus sections.
Use you imagination! Now simply cover with a moist paper towel
and place in frig. until ready to serve. Toss just before serving.
That way the salad will remain fresh and crisp.
"Sometimes
I like to place my seeded tomatoes, cucumbers which I slice and
quarter, and an avocado in the bottom on the salad bowl gently
tossing in the dressing to marinate them and then I place the
lettuce on top. It makes for a heartier salad. Good serve with
a heavier pasta or meat main course."
