    you wash the lettuce after you cut it, when you only wash it before cutting you run the risk of not getting into the crevices where possible dirt or bugs are in

    • @38MilesfromManhattan
      @38MilesfromManhattan 10 лет назад +17

      Not if you are keeping the wedge shape! Iceberg tends to wrap tightly so bugs and dirt way down in the head of the lettuce is not common. If you chop it up and feel the need to wash, you certainly can. Its a nice perk about iceberg that other lettuce don't have!

    • @bonanzatime
      @bonanzatime 6 лет назад +7

      Olivia Saez - That was the answer I was looking for. How come nobody 'knows' this? ... I don't wash it even for a regular salad, you want the leaves dry so the dressing will stick.. washing AND drying iceberg lettuce is an exercise in redundancy.

    It's been so long that I'm not sure where I got it from, but I picked up not to cut, but to tear lettuce for a salad. Cutting is supposed to make lettuce "rust". IDK. I've been cutting it anyway it's a lot easier and faster.

    • @carolchildofgod1467

      I’ve always torn my lettuce for the same reason. The edges turn brown faster if touched by a knife! But, if I know it’s all going to be eaten that night, I’ll cut it. But if I’m only going to use 1/2 of it or store it up for later use, I tear.

    I think you need to finish cutting it up before you say you're finished. Those pieces are too big. They need to be bite sized, unless you're putting salad knives at each place when you set the table. My silverware didn't come with salad knives so I serve salad already cut up.
