It's Mardi Gras!! (Steak Salad)

 

I won't go into detail about "How to make a salad". What I will share with you is how to remove the core from a head of Iceburg Lettuce. I'm sure y'all already know this therapeutic procedure. . .or do you? Haha!


 Suspect: The Core.  Stubborn little sucker if not removed properly. 
Handle with a firm hand! *Grr*


  
Penalty: Death by Whacking!
With Core side down slam head of lettuce onto a hard surface,
Making certain the frustrations from your day
are fully absorbed into this very therapeutic procedure!


  
Results: Beheaded Core and released tension! Be Gone with you, "Grumpies"!
Grab Core, twist and pull away from head of lettuce.

  
 Aw, Fresca!!
Pull lettuce head apart.

  
 Chop lettuce into 1" - 1 1/2" strips. Then turn 90° and chop again.


  
 Make sure your lettuce is chopped into bite-sized pieces.


Voila!!
