LEAFY SALAD WITH CRISP APPLE SLICES AND PARMESAN CHEESE CURLS

Steps:

• Have previously washed your lettuces and spun dry, or put in a large, clean pillow case and swung over your head for a few seconds (this really works! The centrifugal force gets the water off the leaves and the pillow case absorbs it- don't let anyone see you doing this- they'll think you're insane).
• Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
• Combine the lettuces in a large bowl and toss well.
• Add the apples and nuts and drizzle with the dressing.
• Toss again.
• Using a vegetable peeler or sharp paring knife, shave curls off if a wedge of parmesan over the top (be generous!).
• Serve at once as the lettuce will start to wilt with time.

LEAF LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:

• Put the Mayonnaise, Vinegar and Sugar into a bowl and stir until mixed --
• Place in the refrigerator to allow the ingredients to blend and to allow time for the sugar to dissolve --
• Remove the individual leaves from the main plant -- Do not cut, pull them apart --
• Rinse each leaf under cold water and shake excess water off the leaves --
• Remove the tender portion of the leaf from the stalk and discard the stalk --
• 'Tear' leaves into whatever size you think will fit into your mouth --
• This is enough dressing for about half a large bunch of lettuce -- Remaining lettuce can be stored in the refrigerater, covered, for use tomorrow --
• Start by tossing a third or so of the lettuce with the dressing and add lettuce until the lettuce is coated well with the dressing -- (you don't want a pool of sauce in the bottom of the bowl but you want the lettuce well coated) --
• This is best if the lettuce is mixed with the dressing just prior to eating -- The flavor won't change but the lettuce tends to get soggy after about an hour after mixed with the dressing -- .
