Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Poppy Seeds 🌱
Lightly toast poppy seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding to the dressing to unlock their nutty flavor and enhance the salad's complexity.
Emulsify Your Dressing Properly 🥄
Whisk the mayonnaise and white wine vinegar together first, then slowly drizzle in sugar while whisking constantly to create a creamy, cohesive dressing that coats the greens evenly.
Slice Strawberries Last Minute ⏰
Cut fresh strawberries just before serving to prevent them from releasing excess moisture and becoming soggy, which will also keep your greens crisp and the salad from becoming watery.
Thin Slice Your Red Onion 🧅
Use a mandoline to create paper-thin onion slices, then briefly soak them in ice water for 5 minutes to mellow their bite while maintaining their crisp texture and sweet flavor.
Dress Right Before Service 🎯
Toss the romaine with dressing only minutes before serving to maintain the lettuce's crispness; dress strawberries and onions separately if preparing ahead to control moisture and prevent wilting.
