How Do You Cut A Head Of Lettuce For A Salad?
To cut a head of lettuce for a salad, first remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves, then wash and dry the head of lettuce. Hold the head of lettuce firmly and cut off the stem end. Cut the lettuce in half from top to bottom, then cut each half again in half. This will give you four quarters. Cut each quarter crosswise into thin (¼ inch) strips. Place the strips in a bowl, toss with your desired salad dressing and additional salad ingredients, and serve.
