Season Your Greens

How many people open a head of lettuce, rinse it off in the sink, chop it up, and serve it as is?  This might work just great for some people, but you are also missing out on a great opportunity.  Those lettuce leaves should be seasoned as you put it in the bowl!

“Season your greens before you dress them.” – Bobby Flay

The reason for seasoning your greens is really pretty simple, but no one ever remembers to do this. A pinch of salt and pepper can go a long way to improving your salad. Just remember, that piece of lettuce wasn’t seasoned in the ground and you hopefully washed it off as well before eating it.
