How to Cut Iceberg Lettuce for a Salad : Salad Recipes

[@perrymason8471]

The tip about crushing it before the final cut was the best thing in this video.

[@Honeywell888]

I was always looking at iceberg lettuce with terrified facial expression in the supermarket. Now, I am not afraid anymore of it! I will stop buying ''ready to eat'' salads and will prepare my own salad on this way that you just showed. Thank you!

[@gamegeekx]

This helped a lot. I avoided buying salad and lettuce because I'm not sure what I shouldn't eat like that red part of the lettuce.

First i learned how to blend three cheeses in a bowl, now how to cut lettuce. I'm well on my way to being a 1 time personal chef. Thank you!

[@vanhouten64]

Iceberg lettuce = the BEST lettuce! 😋👍

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Meh, it's filler or merely cosmetic. Barely any flavor or nutritional value.

[@visxalette]

you wash the lettuce after you cut it, when you only wash it before cutting you run the risk of not getting into the crevices where possible dirt or bugs are in

[@k24civic]

We call that added flavor at my house. Wastin good protein cant get the gainz like that brother!

So many people are complaining about the salad not being washed. The video is titled "How to Cut Iceberg Lettuce for a Salad", not "How to Wash Lettuce". Washing lettuce is common sense and shouldn't need to be explained.

[@Peacedove7]

I found this very helpful because I did not know whether to very finely shred it or to leave it in bigger chunks. Delia Smith said on one of her programmes that she did not wash her iceberg lettuce because it did not need it and salad dressing did not mix well with washed lettuce.

[@savvysilvia5075]

if you don't wash it where I live you get a mouthful of sand. I wash it and use a lettuce spinner to dry it. I guess if they make a lettuce spinner it must mean you should wash lettuce. Also, think of the pesticides...

[@TrezCast]

@@savvysilvia5075 I wonder if you mean romaine lettuce? That definitely needs thorough washing specially in crevices. Iceberg doesn’t require that though

[@savvysilvia5075]

@@TrezCast since my comment, there have been cases of food poisoning from lettuce. They said to was thoroughly as the stagnant water between the leaves can get salmonella. That's with any lettuce but the food poisoning happened with iceberg lettuce and baby spinach. I would try to wash everything now days. You don't know who's sneezed on it lol

[@7777Ralph]

does it need to be washed? Like each piece pulled open incase of dirt/bugs?

[@38MilesfromManhattan]

Not if you are keeping the wedge shape! Iceberg tends to wrap tightly so bugs and dirt way down in the head of the lettuce is not common. If you chop it up and feel the need to wash, you certainly can. Its a nice perk about iceberg that other lettuce don't have!

[@bonanzatime]

Olivia Saez - That was the answer I was looking for. How come nobody 'knows' this? ... I don't wash it even for a regular salad, you want the leaves dry so the dressing will stick.. washing AND drying iceberg lettuce is an exercise in redundancy.

[@greglinski2208]

No.

[@HeartOfGodMinistry]

I cut mine then use the bowl of my salad spinner to soak it about 5/10 minutes rinse it by pushing it up and down in the water to loosen any debri shake it drop it in spinner insert Pour out water drop insert in spinner replace top and spin till dry .don't over fill to spinner. Once you master this technique it only takes a few minutes to have your lettuce ready

[@dawnregit9211]

Do you wash it before cutting it ?

[@PressCtrlA]

That's how rich folk cut their lettuce. We, poor folk, can't afford to waist 1/3 of the lettuce just because we saw a brown spot. :-D

[@chaseware3181]

I know right haha

[@001mjessie]

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

It's been so long that I'm not sure where I got it from, but I picked up not to cut, but to tear lettuce for a salad. Cutting is supposed to make lettuce "rust". IDK. I've been cutting it anyway it's a lot easier and faster.

[@carolchildofgod1467]

I’ve always torn my lettuce for the same reason. The edges turn brown faster if touched by a knife! But, if I know it’s all going to be eaten that night, I’ll cut it. But if I’m only going to use 1/2 of it or store it up for later use, I tear.

[@gladyslalvay2397]

[@lilac624]

[@jaimedDR]

I hit my lettuce on the counter first and that breaks the core loose. Pull the core out and chop away.

[@somduttsharma.]

Gorgeous Chef😍

[@Kathryn_the_Better-Than-OK]

I think you need to finish cutting it up before you say you're finished. Those pieces are too big. They need to be bite sized, unless you're putting salad knives at each place when you set the table. My silverware didn't come with salad knives so I serve salad already cut up.

[@indiancookingtraditions4696]

Cut with ceramic knife or simply tear with hands to avoid browning of the cut edges

Does cutting your iceberg lettuce with a metal knife turn the edges brown?

[@HeartOfGodMinistry]

It browns faster but if you're serving it right away it doesn't matter

[@Magnabee97]

I heard you shouldn’t cut the lettuce with a knife when some is left over. True or false? Anyone know?

I' m an experienced chef in a 4 star hotel. Believe me, if I waste that much of a lettuce, I would be sacked on spot!

[@greglinski2208]

That's because it's probably owned by your tight ass parents. If they threw shitty pieces of lettuce away instead of serving them, perhaps it would be a 5 star hotel. Also, if you are a doctor, why are you working in a restaurant? Furthermore, if you have been a chef for so many years, why are you needing to watch a video about how to cut up a lettuce?

First rinse it off. The bottom part you can push in with your hand and take out the core.

[@anonymouspunk9968]

I've just been tearing the lettuce into bite sized pieces. It takes a little longer but it doesn't take so incredibly long that I'm at risk of starving to death. I'm starting to think I'm doing it the wrong way and need to start using my knife to save time.

[@savvysilvia5075]

Tearing is actually better if you're not going to use it right away. Cutting with a knife makes the edges go brown.

[@stephen2250]

For the wedge, obvious, but once it gets further down to size you still don’t get to that nice crunchy perfect size that restaurants serve. Is there a cross-cut that’s missing? Don’t want a 5 inch piece of lettuce.
