How do you wash lettuce for a wedge salad?
Many people assume that because the lettuce is not chopped that it hasn't been washed. You should absolutely still wash your salad.First, remove all brown or wilted leaves. Next, I like to cut my wedge in half or quarters and then rinse the whole half under the water thoroughly. Pat the outside down with a paper towel and then sit on a paper towel open side down to let all the excess water drain out.
