Get a bowl and a head of lettuce. Wash the lettuce thoroughly. Break the leaves off, and rub the lettuce under cold water, then dry. To save time, use a bag of pre-washed and shredded lettuce. If you prefer, you may use mixed greens or a more "exotic" bag of salad.
Romaine, Boston, and red-tip lettuce are splendid options for a salad, as are radicchio, spinach, curly endive, and kale.
