Salad hates dressing, and dressing hates itself.
Let me explain. The greens we use in salad, whether or not they come from the lettuce family, are tender leaves with a shiny, waxy layer on the outside and thin cell walls within. The cells should be packed with moisture, enough to make the cell walls burst when we bite into them, creating the characteristic crunch that most people appreciate.

My wife thinks I am strange because most of the time I like my green salad without any dressing.
Perhaps a dressed salad is hiding greens that are not as flavorful as they should be.
Was not Mustard invented to make rotten meat?

Oops, Ha!
I am so often writing the word “make” when I post, that I put it in place of the
word “mask ” that I thought I wrote.
And there is no way to un-post.
