15. Cut the cauliflower through the core one more time.
16. Hold each quarter of cauliflower upside down by the core.
17. Rest the cauliflower on your cutting board and follow the core to remove the florets.
18. If florets are stuck together, pry them apart with your fingers.
19. For larger florets, cut them into uniform bite-sized pieces, cutting through the core to help hold them together.

25. Mix the vegetables together on the tray to ensure everything is coated.

37. Cut the romaine lettuce the exact same way as the red leaf lettuce.
38. If there is any dirt or bugs on your lettuce, wash it.

- Dress the bowl first, then add the ingredients, to ensure proper coating.
- Ensure potatoes are fully cooked when boiling by simmering for 15-20 minutes.
