Mixing:
In a large bowl combine the Lettuce, Lollo Rosso, cucumber, herbs and spring onions. Make sure that the leaves are clean, properly washed and are dried on a porous surface. There should not be any water drops on the leaves when you make the salad. Water makes leaves wilt quickly and lose their crispness. You can also add chives to the vegetables. Rubbing garlic on the sides of the salad bowl is another variation. -

Serving:
When you plan to serve, drizzle the dressing over the bowl. With clean hands toss together well so that the leaves get coated with the dressing. Serve immediately. Season with salt and pepper. Freshly ground pepper has an aroma that is seducing and tastes amazing so use that. Your salad is ready to bask in all the attention it is going to get at the dinner table.
