You are about to step into the shower and you catch a glimpse in the mirror––you know how hard it is to hide anything in that circumstance. This is also true about salad. Everything that goes into it is usually nude and raw. You can't hide the imperfections.
The most important rule about salad making is to respect your ingredients. If your lettuce is too wet or if it came from a bag in which select leaves began to decompose, don't expect stellar results. If you didn't peel your carrots, don't expect that bright color. If your avocado is brown or overripe (under ripe is better), your salad will taste like mush.

| Dressed but not tossed |
We had a salad on Saturday night that was lifted a notch by the presence of fresh Basil from a plant I purchased about two months ago from Trader Joes. It is a spindly thing but still growing and trying to bud in our bathroom.
