"Choosing the Freshest Veggies for Salads"

Martha Stewart, the Queen of Domestic Arts, shares her wisdom on creating restaurant-worthy salads in a recent TikTok video. Making salads at home can often leave us questioning if we could have done better, but fear not, as Stewart’s advice is here to elevate your salad game.

To begin, Stewart recommends soaking your lettuce in ice-cold water, ensuring it’s impeccably clean, and discarding any damaged leaves. After this refreshing soak, use a salad spinner to remove excess water from the greens.

For the dressing, Stewart suggests making it directly in the serving bowl. Once the dressing is ready, add your desired salad ingredients to absorb its flavors. Place each lettuce leaf directly into the bowl on top of the prepared dressing and toppings. A crucial tip: don’t mix everything until just before serving. When you’re ready to enjoy your salad, Stewart advises giving it a gentle but thorough toss for a “delicious salad.”

Now armed with these valuable tips, you can transform your homemade salads from decent to extraordinary. And if you’re looking for exciting salad recipes to pair with Stewart’s advice, consider trying Cameron Diaz’s Summer Crunch Salad, Jennifer Garner’s favorite summer salad, or Jennifer Aniston’s preferred summer salad options.
