Notes

Boston lettuce and Romaine lettuce are a good mix for a French green salad. Alternatively, use half a head Iceberg lettuce.

To prepare lettuce for salad, separate leaves, throwing away any that are wilted or discolored. Wash salad leaves thoroughly. Drain and dry by placing leaves on paper towels. Place clean leaves in a plastic bag along with the paper towels, which will absorb any remaining water. Refrigerate for at least half an hour.
