Significant Salads

Salads have new importance, yet the key to their success still rests in their simplicity. The salad bowl is no place to mix metaphors or too many good ideas. Stick to a single theme; the best salads are conceived so that the partnerships work together wonderfully while preserving the integrity of the individual ingredients. This can even encompass the use of two dressings, the first to coat the greens, the second to enhance the keynote flavor.

In no other course is there so wide a range of individuality, and there is no single step in the preparation of a salad that is unimportant.
