Hi hamburger - LOVE the name by the way, very "recipes" I suppose it depends on the type of salad that you are wanting to do. You can get a firmer style lettuce such as cos or a good buttercrunch. A layered salad in a clear glass bowl can look quite spectacular with various layers using different colours, a good mayo etc. I do a nice one with mango and avocado which is very tasty and quite pleasing to the eye. I also do a rocket one ( nice and peppery) with semi dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, freshly sliced ( very thinly) parmesan and a good balsamic and olive oil dressing. What sorts of things do you like?

Washing the lettuce is what seems to spoil it for me. Lettuce never seems to look nice afterwards, even when I pat it dry. Other people just throw a salad together and you can't wait to dive in, but mine always looks so sad, lol

Get yourself a salad spinner vashti - this will take out the excess water that can weigh down the greens. The layered salad is lettuce layer, sliced raw mushrooms, eggs, red onion ( from memory) cooked peas, creamy mayo dressing, crumbled cooked bacon in alternate layers and it is yummy.

Or if you don't want to buy a salad spinner, place washed lettuce in a clean tea towel. . take it outside and spin it around vigorously!

I bought the New World Morrocan Carrot salad last night, expensive but very very nice and tasty. Wish I could make salads like that.
