Why Salads Always Taste Better At Restaurants
  1. Pair the dressing to the greens based on their texture and flavor profile

  2. Match thick and creamy dressings like ranch with sturdy greens like romaine

  3. Use emulsified vinaigrettes as a versatile middle-ground option

  4. Make emulsified dressing by stirring together salt, mayo, mustard, and molasses in a Mason jar

  5. Add vinegar and shake to combine

  6. Add oil in three additions, shaking well each time

  7. Use a combination of extra virgin olive oil and vegetable oil to prevent solidification

  8. Drizzle dressing over greens rather than pouring in one spot for even distribution

  9. For thick dressings, coat the bowl with dressing first, then add greens and toss gently

  10. Add ingredients that won't get soggy before dressing

  11. Save ingredients that will lose texture for after the greens are dressed

  12. Use your hands instead of tongs when tossing salads
