Throwing together a salad is a lot like making scrambled eggs.  Everyone thinks they're a pro, but in reality, almost everyone is doing it wrong.  And chances are, that means you!  even if you think your salads are just fine, thanks, you could probably stand to learn a few tips that could make your bowl o' greens even better.  Here, the common salas crimes you're likely committing - and how to do better.
