Shortcut on Lettuce..can I Do This

In summary, a "Shortcut on Lettuce" is a method used to quickly and easily chop lettuce for salads or other dishes. It involves stacking and rolling several lettuce leaves and then slicing them into thin, evenly sized strips. This technique can be used with any type of lettuce, but works best with softer varieties. No special tools are needed, though a serrated knife may make the process easier. It can also be used with other leafy greens such as spinach or kale, as long as tough stems or ribs are removed. To achieve the best results, use a sharp knife, gentle pressure, and slice the rolled leaves thinly. It is also important to wash and dry the lettuce before using this technique.

I am making the grilled chicken with a mexican taxco salad and dressing. Can I use the bagged iceberg lettuce in the salad spinner or should I do everything from scratch?

I am so very nervouse because tomorrow is my first real show. It came to me yesterday as a surprise phone call referral and she wanted me to come tomorrow. I have been practicing but boy my nerves are getting to me.
 
I use bagged lettuce at shows all the time.
 
Me, too - and pre-shredded cheese, too. I figure that my customers already use those things, I might as well show them that they can use our tools without changing up their whole kitchen routine.

Exactly! :thumbup:
 
Yes, we sell shredders for cheese and other products but you don't want to overwhelm your host and guests that they need everything and to totally change the way they do everything. I use bag stuff at shows too.

Wishing you good luck with your first show tomorrow night! Take a deep breath and you'll do great! Keep us posted on how it went!
