Ha! I, too, was given the job of making the salad dressing and salad as a
kid. And although I love to cook, and do lots of it--and love salad-- making
salad is my LEAST favorite cooking activity. In fact, I often buy boxes
of baby romaine or mesclun instead of head lettuce because not having to
wash lettuce makes it more likely that I will force myself to make salad at
night.
