I have another quick tip for you today. Maybe you already know this one. Maybe this is how you’ve always cut your romaine. Or maybe this is going to change your salad-loving life. I know it changed mine! This is the very fastest and easiest way to cut romaine for all of those January salads you’ve been making.
