Share them. Rules and criteria: Yes, of course I want to share some tips. I have had a lot of experience while making this. - Before chopping lettuce leaves, wash the whole leaf thoroughly because it contains sand. Washing after chopping can often remove the sand. - There are many types of lettuce leaves available in the market, but for this salad, you must use Romanian lettuce leaves. - Lightly fry the chicken. - If you can't find croutons, you can fry them in a spoonful of ghee or butter until brown and use them in salads. - Try to use all the ingredients indicated in the course and follow the rules for making the salad. - Try to make croutons at home beceause in the market they use preservatives to take them last longer.
