Vietnamese Beef and Watercress Salad

To keep your salad greens crisp, rinse the leaves in cold water, dry them in a salad spinner, wrap them in a kitchen towel and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving. This time in the refrigerator yields greens that are crisper than if spun dry just before serving.
