Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make my salad more attractive? Frame the salad with chips, make a pattern, spread it out on a platter, or try making it in a tall, fun dish!

Are salad spinners worth it? YES! There really is no better way to wash lettuce than with a salad spinner. With all the grooves and folds of greens you definitely want to wash them, and a salad spinner is a must!

Why do restaurant salads taste so good? They take the extra step to toss the salad in the dressing. Drizzling the salad over the top doesn’t allow the flavor of the dressing to reach the entire salad, so dirty an extra bowl and toss that salad!
