You can purchase baby greens at your supermarket or better yet, if you have access to a local farmers market, select from the many varieties of baby lettuces and greens for your salad. I wash my greens under cold running water and then dry them in a salad spinner.
The "OXO" salad spinner is a dream. It turns "making a salad" a snap! You can rinse and spin your greens the morning of the party and store them in the fridge until you are ready to dress and serve the salad.
Ingredients
Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar
Shaved Pecornico (or Pecornico Romano cheese works well too) Cheese
A Pinch Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper
A Bag of Baby Greens
Steps
Toss the greens with a quality shaved Pecorino cheese and then drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste. A little balsamic goes a long way. Less is more.
Add a pinch of sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper and your guests just might start spouting a few long-forgotten lines from their high school Latin.
