Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, prepare all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. When possible, use organic or locally grown produce.
  • Don't overcook your vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the salad and make it soggy.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The best time to enjoy a layered salad is as soon as it is made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will blend together and the salad will lose its texture.
