Toss
To toss is to gently mix ingredients (often salads or vegetables) by lifting and turning with utensils to coat them evenly.
Use large bowl and long utensils for best control.
Add dressing/sauce before tossing for even coverage.
Lift ingredients from bottom up, turning lightly.
Toss just before serving for freshest texture.
Avoid over-tossing, which bruises delicate greens.
For green salads and other leafy dishes – try not to toss more than what will be used immediately (in the next hour or so). Lettuces and other greens become soggy when stored with dressing over time.
