Directions:
1. All the salad greens should be as fresh as possible.
2. Add as many colors as you can.
3. Combine different tastes: sweet, pungent, bitter and sour.
4. Wash greens in plenty of water, at least two changes.
5. Dry the leaves well (salad spinners are very handy and do the job fast).
6. If you are not using the greens immediately, wrap them in a moist towel or paper towel and store them in a plastic bag in the fridge.
7. To revive wilted greens, soak them in ice water for 10 minutes.
8. Tear the leaves apart with your hands rather than using a knife.
9. Toss the greens with a dressing just before serving.
10. Use only enough dressing to lightly coat the greens.
