4. Types of Lettuce Arugula – peppery
Butterhead – tender and sweet with buttery texture
Watercress – crisp with dark green leaves
Radicchio – deep red to pink with white streak; firm and slightly peppery
Iceberg – pale green, mild flavor, low nutritional value

5. Helpful Hints when Preparing Salad
Wash only when ready to use
Spin dry before serving
Tear instead of cut lettuce to prevent edges from browning
Store wrapped in dry paper towel in plastic bag/container
If lettuce is limp, immerse in ice water for a few minutes
Don’t use fresh pineapple in molded salads – it will not set up

7. Dressing Types
Vinaigrette
Creamy

8. Vinaigrette Dressing
A versatile mix of oil and vinegar or tart citrus juice usually seasoned with herbs and spices
usually in a 3-to-1, oil-to-vinegar ratio
Vinaigrettes work well with any lettuce variety, but they’re best with tender greens, such as spinach and spring mixes, because they won’t weigh down lighter leaves.

12. Creamy Dressing
Pair creamy dressings with heartier greens like romaine, radicchio, iceberg and cabbage that can handle a heavier coating. Use sparingly or thinned out with extra vinegar to lightly—repeat, lightly—coat more tender, delicate greens like arugula, spinach and butter.
Cooked dressing – instead of using eggs, dressing thickened with starch paste

13. Creamy Dressing
Dairy
Use dairy-based ingredients for creamier dressings.
Buttermilk: Thick and tangy, buttermilk is surprisingly lower in calories than most other milk.
Cream: Often too rich to use alone, pair cream with herbs or spices, such as tarragon or cardamom.
Sour cream: Heavy and dense, sour cream can be thinned out with small amounts of vinegar or citrus juice.
Yogurt or Greek yogurt: Tangy in taste, plain yogurt adds a touch of creaminess without the extra calories.

14. Creamy Dressing
Mayonnaise
How to make mayo
Mayonnaise-based dressings taste like the condiment but are “eggier” and sweeter.
Emulsion of oil, vinegar or lemon juice, egg yolks and seasonings
Emulsion – mixture of two ingredients that normally don’t mix
