A quick, foolproof routine for a bowl that gets evenly dressed and stays inside the bowl. A small miracle.
Wet leaves make dressing slide right off.
Room to move is the secret sauce.
Start small. You can always add more.
Use tongs or clean hands; keep it gentle.
Add croutons and nuts right before serving.
Choose your tossing style
- The Polite Turn: soft lifts for baby greens.
- The Weeknight Whirl: tongs, quick wrist, dinner in five.
- The Potluck Power Toss: big bowl, two servers, zero flying feta.
- The Crouton Finale: toppings go in last. The crunch must survive.
A simple vinaigrette that knows its place
Whisk 3 parts olive oil with 1 part vinegar or lemon juice, a teaspoon of mustard, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Taste it before it meets the greens. Too sharp? Add oil. Too sleepy? Add acid. Toss just before serving, then stop when every leaf has a light shine.
Golden rule: dressing is a supporting actor. The lettuce is the star.
