A box of baby greens is a fine way to make a salad. But this delicate produce can’t compete with mature head lettuces, whose crisp, flavorful leaves also offer a sturdier base to support add-ins such as cheeses, fruits, and vegetables that add interest and character to a salad. We have also found that seemingly small tweaks—such as how thoroughly you dry your greens, the way you prep add-ins, the order in which you add ingredients to the serving bowl, and the extra effort of emulsifying your dressing—can make the difference between a good salad and a truly memorable one.
