  • Use fresh lettuce: The fresher the lettuce, the better the salad will be. Look for leaves that are crisp and brightly colored.
  • Wash the lettuce thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the leaves.
  • Dry the lettuce completely: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
