Hi Dragonfly,
Lettuce in salads should absolutely never be cut or have to be cut in order to eat it. It should also be thoroughly dry then chilled before serving- so the leaves are crisp, not soggy.
I hate restaurants that take a head of iceburg and cut it in big chunks. Frankly, I'm a lettuce snob and think iceburg is for sandwiches or garnishes only. Give me romain or leaf, please. And dressing on the side, not globbed all over the salad to hide the condition of the lettuce.
My husband tells me I should be a salad critic, I wonder if it pays?
