Salad Too Wet
Your salad is soggy because there is too much dressing or the greens were wet. Drain and re-dress lightly.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 blot the greens with paper towels to remove excess dressing
- 2 add a handful of dry greens to absorb extra liquid
- 3 toss with a small splash of oil and vinegar to reset the flavor
If it's still wrong
- Turn into a chopped salad with extra crunchy toppings.
- Use as a filling for a wrap where texture is less noticeable.
Prevent next time
- Dry greens thoroughly before dressing.
- Add dressing gradually and toss as you go.
Notes
Why this works
Salad texture depends on dry greens. Removing excess dressing and adding dry leaves restores crispness and keeps flavors balanced.
